  That’s the way the rules are written. Look at it this way, I have to spend $130 to upgrade my Mac, but you only have to spend $66 per Mac. I’d call that a good deal.

  If you want an ACTUAL deal (instead of just playing with words) then go to Amazon.com and order it there. You have to pay full-price now, but you can download a form to print out. Once you get your Family Pack you can send the form in to get $50 back. That’s one of the best prices I’ve seen for a family pack, even if you do have to pay everything up front.

  Are these Macs used in a business? Believe it or not, a disclaimer at the bottom of the family pack page reads like this – “This license does not extend to students who reside at a separate on-campus location or to business or commercial users.” I was going to get the family pack also, but now I’m not sure.

  Hi,

  If you buy three copies (I assume you can get multiple rebates) of Tiger at Amazon the total cost will be $285 free shipping and no sales tax. That is an extra $35 over the family pack after the $50 rebate which is not a big deal.

  LA Computer Company offers dealmac readers Apple’s Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger for $91 plus $8.06 shipping. Excluding rebates, that’s the lowest total price we’ve seen by $4. (Amazon.com still offers it for $94.99 shipped after a $35 mail-in rebate.) Offer ends April 28.

  Best Wishes,
