Upgrading is certainly an option and should work well, you also can
use the archive and install method which will backup everything and
give you a fresh install, but preserving some items, and you always
have the option of doing a fresh install and then doing a transfer of
stuff from your prior os to the new os. This works well and only your
software, settings, home folders, and the like get brought over to the
new os. The nice part with the transfer is you can pull over some
things or everything, but the freshly installed apps that was included
with your new os are not affected.

hi
wow the i chat sharing feature really impresses me. is this like
remote desktop, so say if i am unsure how do something on the mac
could a friend literally take control of my mac and show me what to
do whilst speaking to me
or i guess i can browse a friends mac if he or she has something iw
ant o pull off it like a song etcetera
also stacks are going to help me. now i ahve to decide as a
visually imppaired user do i upgrade? or clean install
i know we can backup before hand but the beauty it seems of an
upgrade is that all the stuff you'd have backed up to put back on
the mac again will already be there
will
