27" iMac arrived... Missing recovery discs?

Yeah, it's awesome. You have to download the lion recovery program onto a flash drive where it will remain invisible until you need it. Then it will download the 40 trillion gig program via your inet connection.

Try to explain this to someone who just uses a computer as a tool and doesn't even own a propeller cap.

Refurb 21 iMac arrived the other day.
