I’ve been trying to get Mac OS X Lion from the Mac app store for the longest time. Unfortunately, the software distribution system needs a bit of work. They should have used a reliable distribution system like BitTorrent. So yesterday, I finally threw in the towel and asked Alex if I can visit him and download off his wired network. He did one better, he offered to download and give me the update. In a few hours, we met up and bought blank DVDs, and then headed to Racks for lunch. We were joined by James who was in the area.
After a quick lunch, the gadgets started coming out. Alex brought out an MacBook Pro for burning the OS X Lion files to the blank DVDs. Then the discussion turned to Android. James got out his Samsung Galaxy Tab and Alex his Coby Kyros tablet. He also got out and demoed his rooted Nook. James then got out his Nook and Alex rooted it. While waiting for all the burning and rooting to complete, James showed us pics of Jem and his twins on his iPod Nano. And of course, everyone had phones. James had his Ericsson while Alex and I had iPhones. But I was decidedly the most ungadgety that day.
