Ah, yep. I do remember that. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I consider 10.7 in particular to be a transitional release on the way to
10.8. And in many ways 10.8 was transitional as well. If I had a choice
between 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 today, I'd definitely pick 10.9. And if
10.10 were an option as well, I'd go straight to 10.10.
