Two hours and two online support chats later the problem was solved: I needed to change my password to something that contained at least one upper case letter, one numeric digit, and have at least eight characters. I wish Apple had sent an email TELLING me that this would happen. So, yes, you can upgrade without having Lion. Just be sure your password qualifies under Apple's 'new' rules." MacInTouch 3:26 PM
