Getting the Panther upgrade cheap

So who qualifies for the cheap ($19.95) Panther upgrade? Sadly, just about no one. According to feedback at the excellent Macintouch site, everyone who bought a PowerMac G5 will get Panther for cheap (why isn't it free??). Other than that, most Mac users are out of luck: If you purchased (not received) a Mac system after October 8, you get Panther for $19.95. But if you ordered the system before then, even if it arrived after the 8th, you're out of luck. This includes all the poor folks who ponied up for Apple's cool new PowerBook G4 systems last month. I guess it doesn't pay to be a lemming. More info at Apple's Up-To-Date page.
