The Official Mac Fanboi Thread

[NickFitz]

A properly designed change interface would have a question (or maybe even a hardware check) to find out what pointing device is used and then ask the user what they'd prefer.

That's the kind of thinking that leads to the "Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard", UAC prompts, and that sodding dancing paperclip

Well, it's official... Lion in the App Store, new Mac Airs (Typical, mine arrived last month), New Mac Minis, New Mac Display and the old faithful Mac Book to be withdrawn from service.

Apple used to do a 30 day no quibble guarantee. Might be worth checking that?

PS. on Lion right now before I get on the train and work with windows all day

pps. This scrolling switch will take some time to get used to.

They will also let you return it and get the new version is it's within a month or so of release. And you can get Lion for free on the Up-To-Date program if you bought it after the 8th June.

Also annoying is that I've found that Front Row has been dropped. Spent an annoying amount of time getting it re-installed.

(I use Front Row as a media centre app with an old Apple Remote Control)

Is anyone who is now on Lion also using MSOffice:mac 2011?

If so, does it run ok or is it super slooooow?

Ditto for virtualbox.

How much memory have you got? Lion wants a minimum of 2GB.
