Arie, 

He's explained why he can't buy 10.7 at the moment. Unless you're silently implying Tiemo enlist the aid of 
someone who had purchased it and is willing to share, this is not useful information. There seems to be 
conflicting information regarding a clean install of 10.7 with some saying they've done it and others saying 
there's got to be 10.6.8 avaible at one point or another to run the installer. It does not seem likely that 
Apple will ignore forever those users who need or would simply prefer to be able to purchase physical install 
media of some sort or another, though. I wonder if it's possible to clone a drive and just install that drive 
in another machine.

Best,

Warren
