Mac OSX Lion

Is it possible to download or purchase OSX 10.7? My computer is not compatible with Mountain Lion and I am trying to beta test some software for one of my suppliers that requires 10.7 or higher. Apple is so frustrating to deal with. I cannot find any mention of Lion on their site. Every search I put in defaults to Mountain Lion, including when I put 10.7

Thank you for the link to Mountain Lion that is not compatible on this computer. I am looking for Lion, NOT Mountain Lion. It does not show on the Mac App Store, and searches on Apples website turn up Mountain Lion.

You're looking for Lion? You're not going to find it on their site for a download, It's old news.

IF you have someplace online with a decent amount of storage I can upload the installer for you.

Any idea where I can find it? This is why I have never been a Apple fan. Trying to support them but its damn hard when I can't upgrade my computer to a newer OS than it has. My PC that is as old as this Macbook can run all Windows Operating Systems since its release until now. Sorry for the rant, but it gets old having to always search for this stuff. Not everyone can afford to upgrade to a new machine every three years.

forget B&M stores, from what I understand they have to send back all unsold copies of any previous OS before selling the new media.

best bet, online. maybe ebay or some other sites. *cough*

How much space do you need? I can setup a folder on my NAS as a FTP server, although it probably won't be that fast.

Find someone that has bought lion and have them login to the app store on your mac. You can download the installer through previous purchases. I think it's about 2gb.

nvm, i think the app store came out in lion
