I bought an i7 MacBook Air a couple of months ago when they were released and I was wondering how I could possibly make an OS X Lion Boot Disc despite the fact that Lion was already preinstalled on my machine... All the tutorials I have searched for are for people who have downloaded it from the Mac App store and I don't want to pay another $30 just to put the OS on a thumb drive. Any help out there? Thanks!!!

Well, how about a bootable clone - that would create a complete copy of your entire system which can boot from if necessary. All you need is an external hard drive and download either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper (I use both of them) - format the HD and launch one of the two apps. When done, make sure it's bootable by testing it. Then update your clone whenever necessary so you'll have an up to date copy of your system.
In an emergency, simply attach the external, hit Option while booting up, select the external and boot from it - from there you can keep working, erase your internal (if necessary) and clone your system back.....
