So my google attempts seem to be lacking here. Is it really true there is no way to get an earlier version of lion? In my case 10.7.3 or earlier so I can at least attempt to follow the current Avid qualified OS. In the past there were ways to get legacy Quicktime versions and I assume OS's. I've googled legacy and 10.7.3 but so far no luck. This seems like a much bigger pain than it should be.
