[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1347757, member: 193366"] Not so sure it's quite that cut and dry - nor is the term fanboy really relevant as far as I can see in this thread. The reality is - it's about progress. We used to have to buy disks for everything - I for one am thrilled that I can get most of my software as a download and the few programs that still require ordering a disk - tend not to get ordered because I , like many others - demand immediate gratification. Specifically regarding the OS, there used to be hundreds of threads about folks who can't find their disks - lost, didn't come with the Mac if it was a resell, etc etc - that was a problem that this approach eliminates. It's just the natural evolution of things. [/QUOTE]
