I agree about not getting a physical copy of the OS with a new machine.
But, nope. What I've found is that once you register your new machine that comes with Lion, Garageband, iPhoto, iMovie.... The software is now associated with your Apple ID - not the machine it originally shipped on.
Plus, now that we've been here and know how (or at least, where to find the directions) to make a backup in case our drive dies - we have no more excuses.
Excellent find Bob. Good going.
I do agree that Apple though should give a Recovery Flash Drive with new systems though. Would make it easy for the Novice user.
