Jewels, I can only endorse what Ronni says - how would you feel if your hard drive just died (and they do!)
Snow Leopard is a great operating system and offers real improvements on Leopard without the learning curve of more radical upgrades. As Ronni says, it is a pain free, very smooth upgrade - just follow the detailed instructions that Ronni gave to the mailing list in "Prepare for and Installation of Snow Leopard" on 04/04/11: <http://www.mail-archive.com/wamug@wamug.org.au/msg63491.html> Backup now!
