Thanks Alex.

I did look at that option, particularly as my MacBook does not have a DVD burner only a DVD reader. I've been led to believe that it's not possible to use an external drive for an operating system upgrade. I would be interested to hear otherwise.

Why don't you get an external DVD drive and use the disks. Should be cheaper than either option

Good morning all

If there is anyone interested in purchasing a new Mac Box Set, at a reduced price, please contact me off list. This includes the Snow Leopard upgrade as well as iLife 09 and iWork 09.

Because of a problem with my MacBook optical drive I am unable to use the software, nor can I return it because, obviously, it has been opened. To repair the optical drive will cost at least $350. That, plus the cost of the software is almost half the cost of a new MacBook!!

Cheers
Laura
