Lion Launches Tomorrow On Mac App Store

[TheRealWB]

Long time lurker, first time poster. Awaiting the arrival of Lion so thought I'd join in this thread!

Odd question for you guys. I recently bought a Mac Mini (as recent as just over 3 weeks ago). Being new to the mac scene, I wasn't aware there could be newer models around the corner or I would have held on for the newer one. If there is a new mini today, do Apple offer any kind of trade-in or return in this case? I know it's doubtful and my own fault for buying something without really looking into it, but just thought I'd ask.

In the meantime, I await Lion!

I take it everyone did a software update and got the Lion Migration update?????

JW, is that update required for Lion's install?

 

[drivebass]

I'm waiting outside the Apple Store in Palo Alto ready to buy Lion. There's about 5 of us here.

I don't think you will find it there

Shame, if you were telling the truth I was prepared to laugh at you haha.

Free Software update

", do Apple offer any kind of trade-in or return in this case?"

I believe Apple will upgrade you software for free if you purchased recently but I could be mistaken.
Good Luck

Not sure about trading it up after 3 weeks, usually its only about a week, but I could be wrong.

However you should be eligible to get Lion for free : http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
