history [932]

With yesterday's release of Mac OS X Lion, it seemed like a good opporunity to do something with this archive of Mac OS System Install Discs that I've got. Especially since Lion, being a digital-only distribution, marked the end of the upgrading by disc era.

 

I'll look back fondly on the days of going to the store to pick up the latest release. Such memories of opening the box, looking through the booklet describing the new features (not that I hadn't already become familiar with them by reading all sorts of articles beforehand) and inserting that shiny disc. I even remember going to the local MacSuperstore for midnight releases!

 

But all of that is now the past. The new method of a simple download from the App Store is certainly quite convenient, but a part of me will miss the old ways...
