Apple are doing it correctly then!
Was it worth the extra thou?
I don't think it was that much more TBH, but I can't remember how much it cost back in 2010 (yes, even then OS restore was being shipped on USB).
I mainly bought it for weight, OS X, and "ooooh shiney". And it's not disappointed on any front.
Apple don't do that any more, since Lion (where you could buy a USB restore stick) they have made a recovery partition on your HDD. With mountain lion they no longer offer a USB stick at all. The expectation is you'll just download it from the apple store in the event of disaster recovery.
I assume Macs can fuck up enough to not have internet access?
I think they have some sort of GUI recovery mode thing that can connect to the internet, which implies that if a Mac can't access the net (assuming a connection is available), something is really badly wrong.
I think.
I should probably find this stuff out, in case my MBP gets ill.
