Hi! I installed Mountain Lion last night, and on the whole, I'm very impressed. My bootcamp wasn't affected in the slightest, which was a huge relief. Since I was never all that fond of lion, I figured I had very little to lose by upgrading right away. Anyway, I know there are a lot of things I still need to learn, but the only major problem I've run into so far is that growl notifications aren't spoken as they were. I'm not sure if there will be a growl update released to fix this, or what the deal is. The notifications I'm mostly interested in getting back are when files are added, deleted or changed in dropbox. Granted, I do most things on my PC, but if I happened to have the mac on as well, it was handy to hear acapella Tracy informing me of dropbox changes. I'm very happy that the Acapella voices are still working. I use Alex for Voiceover stuff, but Tracy is my system voice, and I'm happy that didn't have to change. If anyone could shed some light on the situation with growl, that would be great. On a similar note, I'm wondering if there's any way to configure notification center to use the system voice? Sometimes, if I'm reading something else, notifications aren't read, so if it's possible to configure it to use the system voice, that would be helpful. Also, has anyone tried this little program called Hiss? It supposedly bridges the gap between growl and notification center, but so far, I haven't been impressed with its performance, especially since it doesn't honor growl settings with regard to system voice being used. Is there going to be a growl update soon that will resolve all of these minor issues? Also, I've noticed, especially if notification center is telling me about a dm or mention I received on twitter, that it doesn't read the whole thing. Is that fixible, or would I have to go to notification center to see the whole thing? What notification center settings are ideal for using with VO? I don't have an I Device, so all of this is extremely new to me. There's so much to learn, but on the whole, I'd have to say that I'm about 95 percent happy with Mountain Lion, and the dictation feature is a lot of fun. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have, and I hope that everyone is having a great day! Missy
