Hi Anne If you want the honest answer, which I'm sure you do, no! There are only 7 new VoiceOver related functions and, to be honest, everything else works more or less as it did under Lion. So, I'd say that if you have access to the upgrade free or cheaply, go for it. Otherwise, to be

OK, if I understand this correctly, Sarah is advocating the use of a dual-layer DVD. Guess what folks, I suggested that from day one. :) Although actually, it may be that even that doesn't work. I tried it and got errors. I think the image has to be the right size, although I could be wrong

Hi Josh and Chris No, this cannot be done. But personally, I don't think it's really an issue. Maybe it's just that I've grown so accustomed to Mac OS, or maybe it's just my in-built dislike of Windows. I use it because I have too now and then, and it looks as though I'll have too for work,
