It will cost you US$20 and will come to you as a redeemable code that you will use in the Mac App Store, which means that you will need a Mac running at least 10.6.8 to use the code. The only weird part is that the Apple Support salesman said that it may take "up to a couple of days" to get the redemption code. ![]() I'm not sure why that is, but my guess is that if you haven't upgraded to Lion yet, waiting another day or two won't be a huge deal.

If you purchased Lion from the Mac App Store but no longer have a copy of the installer app, you should be able to use someone else's Lion installer, i.e., from a USB thumb drive. I seem to recall that the installer connects to some computer at to verify that you are "eligible" to install Lion, but it has been a long time since I installed Lion and have not tried using someone else's installer. ![]()
