The tutorial explains what you need to do to get your Mac ready for Lion. How to check if your Mac can run Lion, the amount of RAM & free Hard Drive space required, and application ‘kind’ that will work in Lion. How to ‘clean up your computer’ and the correct way to install Lion. I have not had time to do much testing of my ‘Lion' which I have installed on an external FW Drive. I’ve played around looking at the interface and where everything is placed and if everything works, but have not done any serious work in Lion. There are certain things I like about Lion, but not everything. It is a different operating system to Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8. Lion is ‘Using gestures’ and is similar to the iOS (the operating system on iPad / iPhone). • Multi-touch gestures • App Store • App Home screens • Full screen apps • Auto save • Apps resume when launched Just a few of Lion’s features: The Mac App Store, a new way to discover, install and automatically update desktop apps; Launchpad, a new home for all of your Mac apps; system-wide support for full screen apps; and Mission Control, which unifies Exposé, Dashboard, Spaces and full screen apps into an innovative new view of everything running on your Mac, and allows you to instantly navigate anywhere. "Lion brings many of the best ideas from iPad back to the Mac, plus some fresh new ones like Mission Control” I won’t be putting Lion on my work machine for a while yet. There are certain things I just don’t like about Lion ;-) But guess eventually I will have to get used to it, as it is the way Apple is moving forward. <http://www.apple.com.au/macosx/> My Support Website link is: ronnibrown.net <http://ronnibrown.net/> When my website loads, select the heading ‘PREPARE FOR LION OS X 10.7’ and you can download the PDF ‘Prepare For Lion’.
