It just occurred to me that although both (and maybe not only) V1 and dkmarsh have made the point that $69 is pretty pricey for a thumb drive with an OS that only costs $30 to d/l and would probably only cost $35 on a disc, we've all overlooked the fact that users such as grelber would be paying that same stiff price for no more than a hard copy of the OS they already bought and paid for when they bought their Macs!

And, by the way, it looks like Apple is enforcing the $69 price by refusing to wholesale OS X Lion USB Thumb Drives to resellers who could then discount them. (Does anybody remember that I suggested a while back that it looked like Apple was maybe squeezing resellers out of the OS X distribution process?)
