What, the Mac world is not perfect? What a shock..... :-) Next time that you need to do a large download, come on over for a cappuccino :-) Lots of bandwidth here.
You are correct though, an SSD upgrade buys you a lot of performance. LR4 on my HP ProBook was a joy to use for editing the 10,000+ DNG photos on our recent cruise. My new dilemna is whether to go back through and see if the tilt correction in LR5 produces a better result for my photos or not. Maybe I will only tweak those that go into the slide shows.

Took all afternoon to download, but so far -- touch wood -- the upgrade has gone okay. I found a solution for sync'ing my Nokia cellphone (SyncMate - free) and figured out how to undo most of the UI damage / new features. I'm attempting to teach myself to scroll backwards but I may give up and undo that change too. Surprisingly it seems to be no worse a resource pig on my 2007 iMac than 10.6.8 was, possibly even a little lighter and faster, so my slowdown fears were unfounded. Of course my SSD graft-in of a couple of months ago was in preparation for this and has helped a great deal. I still have to find replacements for a couple of PowerPC apps that I used to calculate mat dimensions when framing, but for now I can run them on my even more ancient PowerBook. In summary: for twenty bucks go ahead and install Mountain Lion. Cheap upgrade. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
