OS Lion is available for download

Lion became available this morning. At 9:05 it took 20 minutes. Download time is running an hour and forty five minutes. No telling how long it will take once email notifications are sent out. Just wanted to notify ya'll.

Another thing that I noticed is that Apple is not (as far as I can tell) selling Lion on a DVD (Or any other type of removable media). The only way to get it is to download it. Also, Apple is now selling the Mac mini without a built in optical drive, and droped the MacBook line of computers all together (MacBook Pro's are still for sale) If you want an optical drive in your computer, you now need to fork over more money for a $100 external SuperDrive, an iMac, or a Mac/MacBook Pro. Apple appears to be killing it's bottom line. Also, no OS Lion on DVD makes replacing/upgrading hard drives a big PIA.

Grin ;-) Seems that Apple is becoming the new Borg. "Do it our way or get lost". But i'm happy to know that geeks like us will always find a way to keep things running. Time will tell. BTW, Mayer, even CS4 won't run on Lion, and that's all Intel code ASAIK. I wonder who's to blame - Adobe or the big App?
