[QUOTE="SubH2OChick, post: 1289434, member: 206331"] Procrastination is part of it however it is only due to increasing requirements from other software that the upgrade is necessary. Having an autonomous OS upgrade is preferrable for a number of reasons. There are a number of people I know that simply don't have the requirement to do an upgrade every 18 months or so. I am one of them. Being able to skip a version would be fantastic. MS do it and the business model actually works. I can go from '95 to W7 without the need to spend $1000 in the middle. Sure, sure the prices are more expensive, however what comes out of the box works without the need for anything else unless you upgrade a number of months later and there are service patches available. Now about the retail copies. Apparently Apple have put the recall on ALL unsold copies of SnowLeopard world-wide and you can only purchase it from the Apple Store with a processing time of up to 2 weeks before they ship the parcel. Amazon can ship something they have in stock on the same day as the order is made. What is wrong with this picture? Anyway, never mind about obtaining a retail copy of SnowLeopard. I have just been given and unused one and this makes me happy. So when I have finished this module for Uni I will be doing a full system backup and installing SL. Once that it done, I will be overwriting it for Lion. This will be the last OS upgrade for this laptop and that is fine. Thanks to all you wonderful people who have provided feedback, you have been great. As for the moderators, chill dudes, it could have been a lot, lot worse and in 7 languages. Alonya [/QUOTE]
