After seeing your message, I'm ready to cave and ask my question. What is the best way to revert to Snow Leopard. I used CCC to backup my drive right before I bought Lion, and I know that drive works perfectly. My main concern is getting rid of Lion's recovery partician if I revert. Would I boot from my external drive, format the mac's internal drive and then clone the external drive back onto it? I don't want to try reverting without clear instructions, but ever since I got lion, as much as I like the new voices, I just don't like anything else about it, so would like to give it another chance once some of the bugs have been sorted. I have another external drive handy, so might back lion up onto that so that I'll have all the voices ready to go whenever I'm ready to give it another chance, but for the time being, I honestly think I'd be happier reverting; I just need to know the best, safest way to do it that will insure getting rid of lion's recovery partician. Thanks! Missy

Apple will sort it out. Until then, I've reverted to Snow Leopard, and I'll keep it until some updates to Lion have come out. Using a March 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch with the I5 processor, and I went from 37 seconds to boot up in Snow Leopard, to 1 minute and 25 to boot up in Lion.
