I had to change it back (although I gave it a week before giving up). Actually, I had to walk through a lot of the System Preferences again, and in the end, Lion feels a lot like Snow Leopard. :-)Buzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820913066052044418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-50217032692763155582011-12-22T13:56:23.225-08:002011-12-22T13:56:23.225-08:00Intuit just announced that they will have a soluti...Intuit just announced that they will have a solution that makes Quicken 2007 for Mac "Lion-compatible" by early spring.

I'm actually going to make an appointment at the apple store to get some knowledgeable advise next week! Maybe I need that new operating system?? Or maybe I need to clean up my messes and file system??<br /><br />Thanks for food for thought, DJan!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-47491210669787976982011-12-22T06:17:12.545-08:002011-12-22T06:17:12.545-08:00Kinda scary taking that big leap into a whole new ...Kinda scary taking that big leap into a whole new system.

Occasionally my knickers get in a twist for the frustration sets in, only to discover the answers are there. My advice for everyone is "If ye do not know thee answer, type the question in YOUTUBE". All HAIL YOUTUBE.

Congrats on staying on top of all those expensive innovations. <br /><br />Last week, we filled out a form to clean out our basement of obsolete electronics so a company would collect all of it to recycle it. So I start to wonder how much do I need to acquire so I can just struggle to recycle it in five years.R.

If Apple would let me build my own I would give it a try. <br /><br />I've been following the development of cloud computing for quite awhile now and find it exciting. Actually it should free up space on your devices as the cloud is elsewhere.

All you need is to have separate "Apple ID"s, which are free. You can even have separate ID's for stuff to keep separate (work items, pictures) and a third family ID for things to share (music?, address books) if you like.Geezerhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447863068089090292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-64953909524770252622011-12-20T19:16:43.758-08:002011-12-20T19:16:43.758-08:00My husband has installed this on his Mac, but I ha...My husband has installed this on his Mac, but I have chosen not to because I like to use my Quicken and can't with Lion. <br /><br />I have had problems with sharing things with him since his install.

As for iCloud, it sounded great until I started looking into it. I don't really want all of my pictures on my husband's iPad or his stuff on my laptop. Plus, it seems that it would take quite a bit of space which would have to be purchased. For now I'll stick with old fashioned transfer.<br />And yes, here I am, out of the blue!
