And I have to update my computer for school!!!Once Lion is out, Snow Leopard DVDs will still be available in stores due to the same reason that you're having. There will probably be a price decrease on it, but if you are planning on a upgrade for your computer in the future, wait and get it with Lion preinstalled. May I recommend the MacBook Air, which is more than likely to be refreshed with the new Intel "Sandy Bridge" processors once the new OS debuts. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to pay $100 just to pay another $30 lol. I really hope they do figure something out because my computer drastically needs a software update!! I don't think I am going to get a new computer anytime soon, but thanks for the information!!! My MacBook is in good shape just needs a new battery and new software, but otherwise it's great!!! That's why I love apple so much! I never once had an issue with it! Plus, I have an iPad so I use that most of the time anyways. Just for school I am going to need my actuall computer. But thanks for all the info!! Link to post Share on other sites

For now, at least, I recommend downloading this app. I have dozens (maybe hundreds) of notes on there, as well as drawn pictures and diagrams (all the features are on the website). The developer is also very good with updates, and has promised a completely revised text editor. Anyway, until you get a new computer, this app will get you where you need to go Link to post Share on other sites
