So far, I don't regret upgrading. I realize I am probably in the minority here, but I actually like the conversation view in mail. :-) It actually speeds up the process of wading through dozens upon dozens of messages. Although, I have done a little tweaking here and there to suit my own preferences. Honestly, I haven't had a chance to bang around on the new OS as much as many others on this list, but I can say with confidence that I absolutely *love* the browsing experience in safari now! Between faster loading of web pages and the ability to more quickly navigate using the special quicknav features, Facebook is no longer the pain in the bum it used to be. <grin> I also enjoy the ability to configure specific "activities" for voiceover behavior in my various applications. I can't wait to tinker around more with Lion over the coming days. Oh, one particularly odd behavior, although not a "problem" per say, when typing a message in Mail, such as this reply, it sounds as if Alex has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth as he speaks. LOL Seems like I notice it more when I am backspacing or when the auto-correct is spelling out it's suggestions. The letter "S" is most pronounced. LOL Anyway, as a side note, I wold like to say that in spite of the occasional bickering back and forth, I have already found many posts here to be extremely beneficial as I tame the Lion. Thanks to all!
