Hi Cody, Have you found that your experiences with Lion have been better or worse than your experiences with Snow Leopard. I have learned the ins and outs of SL pretty well, and I'm very comfortable with it. I began using it in November of 2009, and have only learned more in the intervening time. I was told that SL had its problems in 10.6 through 10.6.2. I got a Mac Mini at the time that had 10.6.3 on it, and I would imagine that they had worked many of the initial problems out in that version. I remember that 10.6.4 was improved even more,. Perhaps when Lion 10.7.3 or 10.7.4 comes out, things will improve to the point where I'll feel comfortable giving it another whirl. Friendly, Chris
