I was very confused when using Apple's online tool to qualify my G5 for the Panther $19.95 up-to-date program. I entered my serial number correctly, but the trick is the "place of purchase" box. I tried "Apple Store," but it didn't work. You have to use "store.apple.com" insteaed.

I have no idea why they just can't go by the serial number, but for whatever reason, you have to have all info correct. I had to look at my order status to get the exact order date. I also had to put my billing state and city for it to work.

[robg adds: I had a bit of trouble with this form, too. I don't think I ever got the ship date correct, and I just used "Apple online" as the place of purchase. I'm not sure what the magical combination is, but after a few tries, mine took ... and according to FedEx, my Panther arrives tomorrow, one day early!]
