I'm usually among the last to switch, but OSX upgrades have always
proven to be advantageous. And snow leopard is nice. It has some
advantages in file handling and its leaner than the previous system. I
would have waited, but I was in the apple store and figured I'd pick
it up while I was there. It's much less expensive than the previous
system upgrades. About twenty bucks I believe or fifty for a multiple
install version. I was going to wait to install it on my work
computer, but I installed it on m laptop, and it was trouble free.
Should have tried printing with the laptop, but that didn't occur to me.
No matter, I have a backup of the old system on my work computer, and
I'm reinstalling it. I'm still annoyed with Epson, but I'm going to
see how they respond.

Like, say, Apple? Or are all those OS upgrades (10.1/2/3/4/5/6) free?
I'm firmly in the camp that says once you've got a system runnning,
don't mess with it (also know as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it").
And I certainly don't want to pay them to break things for me.
I did upgrade my old notebook with the XP service packs (SP1-3), but
that's it. And I'm still building software using Visual C++ 6.0 and
Embedded C 3 (except two applications built with Visual Studio 2005).
That lasted me for six years - I'm now switching to a new platform.
My new notebook is where I'm trying out new versions of Lightroom
and Elements; I might also repartition the disk and try out Windows 7
(although I'm leaning more towards creating a virtual machine for
that).
But I wouldn't consider switching my production environment until I'd
tried running everything I cared about on a test configuration.
