Lion Launches Tomorrow On Mac App Store

[SSVicious]

Went to sleep last night thinking that Lion will be waiting for me when I wake up. It's 7:54AM in Atlanta now. Where is the Lion? I guess I'll join this crowd and refresh my mac every 5 seconds.

Good morning my fellow Apple nutjobs.

You're not the only nutjob... Some other guy here on the forums said he pooped on his mac because he was so angry with Steven Jobs.

Can anyone confirm whether or not this will work:

1. Download Lion from App Store
2. When it's downloaded put Lion on an external HDD
3. Reinstall SL
4. When SL is reinstalled get the installer from the external HDD and then run the installer.
5. Done?

would that work?

Cheers

Don't do it that way. If you are going to do a fresh install anyway, then extract the image of Lion and burn it do a DVD or put it on USB Stick / Disk.
Boot from it and install Lion from scratch.

NO SIR.. [url=http://www.speedtest.net/result/1393770688.png]Image[/URL] but i already have the GM so I'm good.

Will you download the retail version even though you have the GM?

Hey, anyone see this? You'll know what you're in for and be able to plan accordingly (you know, go out for lunch with the kids, watch a movie, go to Hawaii for a week) so when you get back it'll be done!

"...we will be back shortly." Apple gives the word "shortly" a new meaning.

...Apple will email us all...surely??

I use Spotify all the time, and I actually am a premium subscriber so I can listen on the go on my iPhone and have no ads!
