Yeah thanks for trying to clear this up, I bought my Macbook Pro Spring 2011 [it was actually a unwanted/returned model to the store] and it had never been turned on, I noticed there wasn't any recovery disks as I had seen in friend's boxes and on YouTube unboxings. For all I knew someone had taken them out before returning it. I didn't think it was a big deal at the time but I want the peace of mind knowing I can restore it to working order again if something goes wrong [heaven forbid].

Btw, @BreakGuy - the links you have so kindly provided wouldn't work. They just sent me to an error page on the Apple domain, which strangely keeps happening to me when being linked directly to a page on the Apple domain [mainly forums and support pages].
Thanks, Alex
