Re: [MacBook] Lion?
Check all your programs to see if they are compatible with Lion first. Don't upgrade just to upgrade. If all your apps work in Lion and you want some feature that is only in Lion then and only then upgrade but make a backup/clone of your working drive first. If you find something you missed you can then go back to the way it was before you broke it.
I have found many things I like about Lion and just as many that I hate about it.
Lion thinks we are all idiots and should not ever know how to do anything for ourselves.
$2,500 for a new iMac and $1,500 for new software upgrades just to get back to what I could already do before the G5 blew up.
Good thing is I may save the G5 after all, just a power supply at $200 for a new one I get it back.
