John, I have to agree with you about Lion. I was ticked at first because I had to buy almost all new software to upgrade to Lion. However, it has turned out to be a blessing. I do agree that after using Lion for awhile, I am very impressed with it. It is definitely the best operation system yet they have developed. There is so much power built into it including the programs that come with it. I am even backing off my previous criticism of Preview. Using Lion and its programs new features definitely requires a learning curve and much patience in installing Lion. I now absolutely love it. Also, I downloaded the Pixelmator and it is doing exactly what I want it to do on old documents I am trying to improve. I just wish I knew how to use all its marvelous features. That is going to be a learning curve too.
