<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hey</div><div><br></div><div>Lion is lovely visually but its a bit sluggish compared to snow leopard even with 8 gig ram on the quad i5. Its also disabled normal access to afp shares i was running on my gentoo server. There is a workaround but its decided to go wonky again. Going to fiddle with netatalk and avahi. Hopefully by 10.7.5 update they will have ironed out the glitches. Also u cant upgrade the hard drive yourself, they installed custom firmware that controls the fan speed and causes the fans to spin full belt. Also to change the drive u need to remove the screen using special suction pads. It sounds worse than it is really, these issues are just small annoyances in the grand scheme of things. Visually its great, the mouse and keyboard are lovely to use etc. oh another thing, to reinstall lion u have to boot to a recovery partition using cmd + r then download a full fresh copy of lion from apple. Its ok on fibre but would b painful if ur on slow broadband. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps.</div><div>Cheers</div><div>Andy <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 3 Jan 2012, at 22:14, Jeffrey Daniel Rollin-Jones <<a href="mailto:jeff.rollin@gmail.com">jeff.rollin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><p>What's wrong with OS X Lion? I went into the Apple Store today - big mistake, as I am now fighting to find any way, short of selling my own grandmother, of paying for one. (The price is a problem, of course. In fact I'd probably have to sell all three of my surviving grandparents to pay for a 27" iMac, and maybe even throw in a niece or nephew ;-) )</p>

It was really straightforward and I'd forgotten how much I liked it. It's given me Gnome2. Then I installed it on an old laptop, and it's given me Gnome 3. Not quite sure how I managed that. But Gnome3 is ghastly.<br>
