[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1831257, member: 190607"] I don't mean to argue with you over this...but Apple hasn't changed their mind about anything. All of the OS software versions that I provided links to have been available from those very links since they have been released. That's why I had those links at my fingertips to post here; I've been pointing folks to them since each past version of the Mac OS has been released. This isn't something new. I have no doubt that you are correct that previous versions of the Macintosh OS aren't available via the Mac App Store. I don't know why Apple doesn't make previous versions of the Mac OS available this way. But that's very different than saying that Apple discontinued making them available to users after a new version of the Macintosh OS came out. Apple stopped doing things that way a bunch of years ago...at about the same time, I believe, that they started releasing new versions of the Mac OS for free. Just as a FYI, you can still download OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), OS X 10.7 (Lion), and OS X 10.8 (Mt. Lion) from Apple too. However, they are all $20 each. [/QUOTE]
