Well, the main reason I didn't like it, was because when I set up my gmail
acount, it decided to download about 3 months worth or more of mail that I'd
obviously already read, and in trying to delete it all, and in adition to it
telling me "mail busy," every few minuttes or so from me having to delete
over 1000 messages, all this was slowing my system down, so decided to do
away with it.

I agree.
I love the line preview in Mail. And you can always turn it off.

This is interesting and shows just how different we all are. I for one
think that the "reading of bits and pieces of messages", as you put it, is
really helpful. This determines if a message with a not so explanatory
subject line is worth my time or not. This, however is only me.

I'm currently using that as well, and not sure what I think about it.
I'm not sure if it's unfamiliarity with the system itself, issues with
the OS, or a little of both, but I've kind of been struggling with it.
Perfect example, I just had a friend of mine help me make some changes to
my e-mail settings so I could sort through it easier and not have it
continuously read me bits and pieces of my messages before I'd even
opened them, and now for some reason unknown to me, it's now decided not
to display anything other than my inbox, so I have no idea if my trash
folder has been emptied or not.
I've tried removing and readding the acount, only to have the same
issues, so don't know what to make of that. I haven't really had the
busy signals with Safari all that much, but have it with Mail on a
somewhat regular basis.

I agree with you a zillion percent. I still have lion installed on an
external drive, so try it out from time to time and update it whenever
possible, but for day to day use, I have no plans to ever abandon Snow
Leopard. I'm not an expert using that by any means, but at least it works
more reliably. The only application that seems to read a little bit
better for me under lion is skype, and since I'm not a huge skype fan in
the first place, that's not a big deal. I know it isn't possible, but I
wish I could get my $30 back from lion, and if Lion had been my first
ever mac experience, I definitely would have returned or tried to sell my
macbook.

Subject: Lion, a lemon?
Hi all,
I want to start off this post by saying that I installed Lion the day it
came out on my Macbook Pro. Before doing so, I made a time machine backup
of my Snow Leopard system, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did.
I tried Lion for a week, and found it to be terribly buggy and not nearly
as intuitive to use as SL. I restored my computer back to SL, and have
continued using it since. Recently, a friend of mine got a brand new iMac
with Lion installed. He has been calling me asking for help understanding
how to do some very simple things. using the mail program, entering a tun
of contacts into his address book, and using Safari to listen to a
webcast he particularly likes. While we handled mail without much
difficulty, I must say that Safari and Address Book have been riddled
with problems. Safari will often give us the busy signal, and the address
book kicks us out of the fields and deposits us in some sort of no mans
land where we must command tab back and forth to get free. He has updated
to Lion 10.7.2, and yet this hasn't really fixed the issues. The nonsense
with creating multiple desktops and such was a bit annoying too. I wonder
if maybe simple is better some times. It's sad, but as I purchased a snow
leopard full installation disc for him, I'm going to go down to his house
and put SL on his machine so that he can actually have a good experience
using his mac rather than the flawed and terribly buggy one he's been
having. That's not to say that SL doesn't have its problems, but they are
far fewer than Lion it seems. I hope that Apple will take a page from
Microsoft and move quickly on to the next OS as Microsoft did from Vista
to 7. I'm afraid Lion is a lemon.
I'm curious to know about your experiences with Lion versus Snow Leopard.
Friendly,
Chris
