well i haven't had any issues so far. the only problem i do have with lions is when i have to correct stuff in other languages using pages and that it won't read bulleted lists. I also have problems when formating with pages so i choose to use text edit. I think text edit is pretty good for my needs and is similar to pages. The only reason why i got iWork's is because of the keynote software which i haven't played with it much. but what's better in lion is the fact that i can switch languages which i really like because i'm reading extensive materials in spanish. I do wish that voiceover changes languages when reading multilanguage documents.Jaws changes voices when reading documents that are in both english and spanish. But i have been having an unrelated problem, my charger stopped working since this friday for some reason. when it chaerges my laptop, the plug that magnetically connects to my laptop got burning hot, i couldn't touch it because it was really hot. I don't know why i am having this issue. i thought that the charger should last more than 2 years at least. I'm currently a college student and need my laptop for research. If i had a braille note that would have been good, but because of the state's budget, they said a braille display was more cost effected which i still liked because i can use that with my iPhone as a PDA. I'm more concerned because i have a lot of assignments and need the laptop obviously to do them. is there anything i should do in the future as a backup? I can't always be going to the apple store since it's quite far from where i live.
Thank you very much.
