I agree with you Cody. So many bugs are machine-specific. I don't think it's fair or correct for anyone to imply that the problems that many list members are experiencing is due to a lack of knowledge or unwillingness to learn.

Lion works fine for me, but the only problem I've had, like with everyone else, is with safari, where the quicknav keys for the web roter, decide to stop working when going back in a session, where the up and down keys just announce the title of the page and stop doing anything useful. I am an advanced user, and I do think a lot of issues do come from beginners just not knowing what they are doing at first, but yes, Lion, or at least voiceover in lion has some bugs, on my end, and on more than one machine.

I installed it on day 1 and haven't looked back since. I will probably get flamed for saying this, but i think it has to do with learning. After all, Lion had several new features and several modifications were made to the way we work, and of corse, it goes almost without saying that we have to rethink how we do things. I haven't had more busy signals than usual with Safari in Lion. The only issues i have had is a bug in the swedish nuance voices where certain letters aren't pronounced correctly, but i was aware of that bug already before i upgraded and wanted to try Lion out despite that, and i've found a workaround for the bug, so all is well there and besides, Apple are aware of that bug and they seem to have fixed it on the IOs side, so i have good hopes that they will fix it here too, eventually. > /Krister > > 10 nov 2011 kl. 08:31 skrev Chris Snyder: > >> Hi all, >> I want to start off this post by saying that I installed Lion the day it came out on my Macbook Pro. Before doing so, I made a time machine backup of my Snow Leopard system, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. I tried Lion for a week, and found it to be terribly buggy and not nearly as intuitive to use as SL. I restored my computer back to SL, and have continued using it since. Recently, a friend of mine got a brand new iMac with Lion installed. He has been calling me asking for help understanding how to do some very simple things. using the mail program, entering a tun of contacts into his address book, and using Safari to listen to a webcast he particularly likes. While we handled mail without much difficulty, I must say that Safari and Address Book have been riddled with problems. Safari will often give us the busy signal, and the address book kicks us out of the fields and deposits us in some sort of no mans land where we must command tab back and forth to get free. He has updated to Lion 10.7.2, and yet this hasn't really fixed the issues. The nonsense with creating multiple desktops and such was a bit annoying too. I wonder if maybe simple is better some times. It's sad, but as I purchased a snow leopard full installation disc for him, I'm going to go down to his house and put SL on his machine so that he can actually have a good experience using his mac rather than the flawed and terribly buggy one he's been having. That's not to say that SL doesn't have its problems, but they are far fewer than Lion it seems. I hope that Apple will take a page from Microsoft and move quickly on to the next OS as Microsoft did from Vista to 7. I'm afraid Lion is a lemon. >> I'm curious to know about your experiences with Lion versus Snow Leopard. >> >> Friendly, >> Chris >> -------------- >> I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one. >> >> >> >> >> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
