[QUOTE="SubH2OChick, post: 1289224, member: 206331"] Fiscally what you say makes a lot of sense, however the requirements that you need to have one to support the other is extremely illogical and quite limited for those of us who are not techno whizzes and do not have the need to get everything the second it is released (I only just decided to get my iPhone4, 3 weeks ago). I am happy with my Leopard OS however it is time for me to upgrade (this will be the last OS upgrade for this computer) and it is awkward and inconvenient to be needing to track halfway around a city of 4m people to find a copy of SL in order to be able to upgrade it right away. I would prefer to pay a little bit more in order to purchase something that is autonomous and then apply any patches/updates as I go. Thankfully the store is an hour bicycle ride away. I appreciate the feedback that I am receiving (you guys are great) but I am just frustrated at the inconvenience incurred by non-autonomous software for the end-user. I am getting the SL Box today and I have already downloaded Lion. It is simply waiting for me to do the bit in the middle. I also need to get a different external drive so that I can do a secondary backup before I do the upgrades. Can someone please tell me how long this will likely take? Just so I can time it right as I am at the end of a Uni module and don't want to do it before I am done with that. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Alonya [/QUOTE]
