can I go from os 10.5.8 straight to new lion os? I obviously dont have the mac app store since i have not updated to 10.6 yet. Do I need to go into the store and get a copy on disc?
You currently need Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard for 29 USD to update to Lion, or you could wait till August for Lion on a USB flash memory thumb drive for 69 USD.
