Sort of... http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9246609/Apple_retires_Snow_Leopard _from_support_leaves_1_in_5_Macs_vulnerable_to_attacks I switched recently to Lion my Mac Mini seems to handle. It didn't when Lion was launched, but now it seems fine. And there was/is absolutely nothing wrong with SL. Anyway, just FYI. -- Stephen

What was I thinking? My bad, ignore. Yep: what *were* you thinking? I was trying to work it out! I still run Snow Leopard on my 2GB 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, because I continue to use some great little programmes that I've been using for years and years, and they will not be able to run under later o.s.'s.

Upgrading my Mac and o.s. used to be a major issue when I used to work (!), but these days I don't use QuarkXPress and other monstrous programs. Therefore I would *like * to stick with what I know works, and not upgrade simply because Apple would like me to. John

A 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo. Most time of the upgrade went into the download. TIP: after the download quit the installation and copy the installation file (in your applications folder) to an external drive. It will be lost after installation is finished. The upgrade itself went quickly and smoothly. I had the original Snow Leopard DVD and partitioned my hard drive in a small SL and a large Lion partition. Just in case so I could restore SL from the Time Machine backup. Lion (10.7.5) is really amazing. It's fast and responsive and everything just works like before. Highly recommended. It wasn't like that when Lion was launched. -- Stephen

And how does "My bad, ignore." improve things?

I agree, but why 'throw away' a perfectly good computer? People are happy just to print something, play a game and occasionally send an email. Most of the time they are safe.

Some of us are still using PowerPC-based Macs, believe it or not. : ) Not that I'm complaining about the lack of updates. I'm well accustomed to Apple's progress and habit of leaving the old in favor of the new. So this news comes as absolutely no shock or disappointment to me, personally. > Anyway, why do I never hear about these alleged attacks on the Mac? > Newspapers, the music industry, the movie industry, publishing, > photography, design, television, big science--all big Mac users and all > attractive to hackers, yet I never hear about any of them being hacked > Windows-style.

I'm running 10.7.5 on this old Mac Pro because it _technically_ can't be upgraded. I know that installing a new video card (these days pretty much any video card) and Mavericks is quite simple.

You should know that my remarks were directed towards the entity known as Erliar, and not you or anyone else. Also, my remarks were not meant to convey there is never a reason not to upgrade. I myself have Macs that will never be upgraded past 10.6.
