loftus 41 Posted July 20, 2011 I'm a little worried about downloading Lion just yet at least to my desktop. I know Quicken will no longer be supported on Mac with Lion, and then of course the unknowns right now with all my Photoshop and Aperture plug-ins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocha 0 Posted July 20, 2011 An interesting feature of the new Macs: Newly-introduced Macs -- namely Mac minis and MacBook Airs introduced today -- have a new feature called "Internet Recovery" that downloads and installs OS X Lion even if your Mac has a failed or blank hard drive. Much of the concern around Lion being download-only (though it will be available via USB key) was how to do a clean install after a hard drive replacement, for instance. For new Macs, it sounds like it will be very easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealDrew 0 Posted July 20, 2011 An interesting feature of the new Macs: They will also have it available via a USB drive. Wonder if that is included with the MacBook Air purchases.

Ryan 48 Posted July 20, 2011 Could be unrelated, but the three imap inboxes I used were wiped clean within an hour of upgrading to Lion. All other folders are intact, and I can't find the missing messages locally using search. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loftus 41 Posted July 21, 2011 Though I said I wouldn't, of course I did install Lion on my laptop. First thoughts...noticeably faster. Now I have to work out how to do the partition thing on my desktop to keep Leopard where I need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
