No, the copy from my friend heer, the Grey disk which was
within the other comp.

As i see from forum - the problem with the installation is in that reason -
Grey (not legal) disk.

Of course, i wished to try only befor do something the same - to ask my friends
in US for instance to buy SNow Lion and to send me...

Ye. I do not understand - why it is so narrow-minded, the problem maden from the Zero...

Ok, thanks for supporting here. ALex.

The grey disk is machine-specific, it will only work with a machine identical to the one it shipped with.

Alex,

When you said Apple will not ship to Russia, did you try to purchase from this location:

Ralph, sure, this page...

If you make the first step and CHeck Out,
at the second Step - page you will see that
Country may be just only US.

In other coutries (most of) there are local AppStores,
but we (Russia) have no, the same for instance - Birma, etc 🙂..

At the Amazon i can make the order up to last step, but then the message appeares -
We have not ship to your contry-address...

Ok, i resolved problem - asked my friend in Chickago to buy and send me...
We were lauphing the both 🙂...

Sorry for my English here... Regards.

I have to tell here, guys, that we (Russians, not Kremlin-people, but the real Russian people) -
not so bad that we have no the simple possibiity to buy the best soft products we love 🙂...

Alex.

Alex,

I am glad you worked out a solution...in the other post you had yesterday that was one of the solutions I suggested, have a friend buy it and mail/ship it to you...there is always a way to beat the system 😉

The couple across the street from me are Russian, well from the Ukraine actually...terrific people and great neighbors.

Ralph,

glad to hear that guys near you - nice people and you have the kind-neighbors relations,

I am sure that "System-s" 🙂 - are one way, people - parallel way evertimes -
and they do not across 🙂...

Was nice to speak here with you and other guys. Really!

O, do not know how it will be seen from US (what about Rusiian-English interface) -
but if you wish - you can see many good picturse (albums from foot-trips in Nature, Russia and other place)
an my page mentioned in Profile here.

Thanks for messages, may be not the last 🙂 - life not so short 🙂...
