[DM-MUG] Snow Leopard upgrade $29

[CW Smith]

We don't know for sure yet, in that the discs won't ship until  
September. :)

If the Snow Leopard updater is like previous updaters (Panther, Tiger  
and Leopard drop-in kits), it should be an in-place update. There  
*might* be an option to archive-install or to erase-install, but we  
won't know for sure till we can lay hands on the install disc.

Peace,
CW
