I think in general its been a good update for OS X, Mitch. Better security etc, its just its changed what people were used to, and change is something people begrudge as you get set in your ways.

I think I'd like to try the magic trackpad with an iMac and Lion.

Some people have objected to the appearance (the skins) of some apps, iCal and Address book in particular- fix here:

It's too early for me to try to counter that.

Some copies of Lion have proved to be very expensive

I got the Magic Trackpad of the Mrs last year and i have to say i wasn't sure how they could better it with Lion but the did.

I had to change the direction of the scrolling back to normal though otherwise the other half would have thrown it out the window

Steve · Jul 28, 2011, 14:42:36

The direction of the scrolling does seem to be a female issue IMO. I'm quite happy with the change in direction from SL it seems much more logical for me. My wife on the other hand couldn't cope so I've unticked her box so to speak.

I would not suggest there is such a divide. More what your use to, your use to. You could argue the other side of the species is less adaptable. But try giving a bloke two things to do at once, and you're soon proved wrong.

haha exactly the issue. She doesn't like change. It was hard enough moving her from windows to osx. I managed to get to her better side advising that the computer desk will have a lot less clutter and she was sold.

I've just deleted 4 emails I shouldn't have whilst on Skype to my son in the US, of course I can multi task.

Your doing ok. On the house moving program on TV yesterday, the wife would not change from wooden windows to plastic ones. Now that's expensive taste!

Ouch! I'm guessing the man caved

New iMac arrived with Lion on it, seems as fast as snow leopard tbh took a little while to get used to though but so far I like it, I have avoided installing flash for the time being until they get their act together/or Apple gets its act together on getting that to work properly, trying to download the current flash player it calls it a 'beta' for 10.7

Hope this one turns out OK

I must admit Launchpad is not my cup of tea, I prefered the application folder and less of the iphone/iPad look but I'm sticking with it as I am its easier to go with new tech than fight against it. I find the natural scrolling very easy though, guess that's from iPhone use.
