Fill out this order form and enclose it with a
payment of US$9.95 plus applicable sales tax,
your original Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger install DVD,
and one original software proof-of-purchase
coupon for Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger for each CD
kit ordered.
But I refused to pay $10 for something I just paid for. Bought a DVD player for $279 instead. Matter of principle, don’t you see. :-)

Maybe I should put them on eBay? :-)
Add to that over 20 odd notices of my lack of rights to use the hardware and/or software I paid for. Lawyers!
And no, I’ve never found a use for any of it except the stick-on Logos. They’re on my car, toolboxes, camera cases, and windows of my front door. I just like to advertise to prospective thieves that contained therein are the best equipment you can buy.

Was just going through some old paperwork and noticed my software coupons from Apple for OS 10.3 and iLife ’04, wondered what the heck these were for and how come I never used them. Well, now I know. Thanks so much for the post. Very informative on what was quite a mystery for so long.

It didn’t have any coupons but it did have two Apple stickers. I always figured the coupons come with the bundled version so if they updated the software within a certain period of your purchase you might get a discount. But I doubt it LOL

I could be rich with all of the old coupons I have saved up, in our office, over the years. I guess I may as well throw them out… finally. Thank you for your reassuance that they are basically worthless.

I don’t think Leopard came with any, but I could be wrong. I’d have to check.

I always thought they were for like 10.4.7 vs. 10.4.8 upgrades, in case you didn’t have internet and couldn’t upgrade via Software Update.

I guess after several years, they realized the pointlessness of it.
