If you’re on dial-up (sorry), a horrible dorm network, or your roommate hogs all the bandwidth with his love of True Blood torrents and pornography, you’ll have trouble getting the download-only OS X Lion. But Apple’s got you covered.

I’m not saying this isn’t generous, but some complimentary shrimp cocktail or pound cake would be nice, while you wait. Just saying. [Cult of Mac via Computerworld]
