(What I really miss is the old MS Money that came with my Dell waaaaaaaaaay back when. Like, Win98 way back when. But it was a kickass finance program.)

I remember that! I used it for years. Sporadically.

D has the comp-sec heebie-jeebies about Mint or any other program that links with our bank, but I may try it for my business account.

Apple wouldn't JUST offer Lion via the App Store, right? I mean, since there are still plenty of people out there running Leopard who might still want to upgrade to Lion? The "how to buy" tab on apple.com is not filling me with confidence.

I believe that's what they are doing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You can always borrow my Snow Leopard DVD if you need to.

Hopefully, Lion will come with some sort of method to burn a recovery DVD or USB key.

Thanks - I'll let you know if I need it!

If Ethan's laptop is running Snow Leopard (which I think it is - it's at least a generation newer than mine) I'm hoping I can buy a family license and just burn the installer to a thumb drive.

(Damnit, now I've started browsing the Apple store. Please tell me I do NOT have the money to buy a new laptop. Even a refurbished one. Seriously, I don't.)

Well, they are saying Snow Leopard is a requirement for the upgrade, so they may be going that route. One thing though, the family pricing just went down. The download will allow up to 10 machines to install the upgrade.

I *really* hope they wouldn't remove the option for people to wipe the old machine and do a clean install of the new OS.
