OS X Lion

We went across the street to take cookies to our new neighbors, and had a nice visit.

Came back, now 5 minutes left.

sounds about right. since everybody has different internet speed and all... up to 2-3 hours sounds right. it's to be expected especially when it comes to OS upgrade

OS X Lion USB drive is faster to install than internet about 30 minutes but The USB key costs more than Apple's OS about $70. If you use it, you won't be able to restore using Recovery HD

No. These are neighbors across the street. She lives next door. I drove her to the bookstore today to buy Windows 7 for Dummies. She loves the "Dummies" series for all the computer OS and for iPod, etc. :)

Yeah, that was a 3.5 GB monster! :lol:
 
Thank you all for holding my hand thru this traumatic experience. :giggle:
 
Wow. That is impossible that wait so long. I installed it which took about 15 to 25 minutes because I have the internet cable. I almost lost the track of time.

Do you have cable or DSL?

I never hear about faster time. Mostly hours between 1.5 and 3. It depends on how long it takes to download 3.7 GB.
 
Took me less than 3 hours to download and install in total. 3.5 GB download isn't exactly that fast on a 12 mbps cable connection.
 
I'm glad that I got it finished last night. Today, the internet was down for a couple hours. It's a good thing it didn't go down while I was in the middle of downloading Lion last night.
 
I bought a MacBookPro in August and I love it. Came with OS X Lion. The trackpad gestures are really useful. :) First Mac I've owned.
