I heard the other day that while 10.7 is not available on the app store, if you call apple they will sell you a link ($20) to download 10.7.
that was somewhat surprising, but on the other hand, not so much.
That certainly makes sense, but you'd think they'd make it public knowledge and save some people from springing for big bucks for thumb drives. (Mine cost me $79, but I've seen them go for $120, maybe more.)
Maybe that's what's behind those
curious gift certificates ?
I wonder what they'll do with 10.8 when 10.9 is released.
