Re: Getting Mountain Lion if your internet connection is too slow
Hi, To follow up on my previous enquiry: Has anyone made use of an Apple Store or reseller to get a copy of Mountain Lion? If so, were you able to get it on a thumb drive or did you need to cart the machine in? I can tell you that there is absolutely no reason why you would have to have your machine available in order to get a copy of Mountain Lion unless the store/reseller intended to download onto your machine from the App Store rather than just provide you with a copy on thumb drive or DVD. It seems to me that if you could provide sufficient proof of your right to have the software it is a waste of time and extremely inconvenient to insist on going through the download process. Thanks to Sev I've upgraded with little hassle.

Re: Getting Mountain Lion if your internet connection is too slow
I can't see why T4 could not have put the download onto a Thumb Drive that you supply Kaye. Once they have proof of purchase and your redeemed Code I fail to see why they would not. Anyway Severin has given you another option :-) Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 12/08/2012, at 1:42 PM, Severin Crisp sevcr...@westnet.com.au wrote: Kaye, I have a saved copy of the 4.7GB Mountain Lion installer which I will happily put on a thumb drive for you.

Re: Getting Mountain Lion if your internet connection is too slow
And to ease Severin and Kaye's moral compass, it would seem to me that as long as Kaye has paid for ML from the App Store, which she has, then how she actually gets it onto her hard drive is of little legal consequence. She has paid for it. She can legally and morally and technically use Severin's drive to get the software surely. It could be argued that Apple has failed to provide a product she has purchased.. Once over this hump, I hope you enjoy the new OS. :-) Tim On 12/08/2012, at 2:05 PM, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: I can't see why T4 could not have put the download onto a Thumb Drive that you supply Kaye.
