Re: should I switch to Lion?

2011-09-22 Thread Mike Arrigo 
I have lion on all 3 of my macs, it's working well for me, a few minor issues, 
but nothing that prevents me from doing what I need to, I think you will be 
fine with the upgrade.

Re: should I switch to Lion?

2011-09-22 Thread Chris Blouch 
Yup. I gave MacFuse a good try and could not get it to work. It seems to 
have withered on the vine such that anyone with a newer OS can't get it 
to run. Hopefully someday someone will give it some love but for now 
either standalone FTP apps or using the terminal are the best way to 
upload via FTP.

connect to the ftp server using finder, and then browse and download 
stuff from it. This means that if you want to access an ftp server, 
even if you have a dedicated username and password for it, you don't 
need an ftp client program such as transmit. You can simply use the 
finder if you want. However, what you currently cannot do, is upload 
files to the server from within finder. So, having the server files in 
front of you, looking like any other finder window, you currently 
cannot command v new stuff into this window, hoping it will be 
uploaded. This is because finder mounts an ftp server as read only. 
Using mac fusion, which is a program you can google and install, you 
can do just that, thereby extending the finder's capabilities. I asked 
a solution for ftp sites not being read write, and Chris Blouche came 
up with the mac fusion solution. We both tried it, because it was a 
very interesting idea, but if I remember well, we both fell on our 
noses. I have Lion, and both mac fuse as well as mac fusion have not 
been updated for Lion as far as I am aware now. Now is september 2011. 
At least I'm sure of mac fusion not having been updated.

Of course, there is a little downside to not upgrading. The longer

therefore cannot answer your questions any more.

Nancy and Amy,
Lion is indeed voiceover friendly. There are a few minor issues, that, once you 
know about them, won't be a show stopper. Midi playback, I haven't got to work 
yet, but otherwise Lion is fine. Some programs don't yet function on lion. For 
example, there is something called mac fuse, and something called ntfs 3g, mac 
fusion, that is not the same as vm ware fusion, but if you've never heard of 
these, you won't miss them. In that case, there is no need to worry, but as 
Karen said, if all works well and you don't need more, why bother for now.

Of course, there is a little downside to not upgrading. The longer you wait, 
the fewer people will use the same system as you do, and therefore cannot 
answer your questions any more.

Re: should I switch to Lion?

2011-09-21 Thread Karen Lewellen 
Perhaps the better question for you and the other seeker is this.  Is 
there anything you cannot presently do with the mac you have in the os you 
use?
A mac is not like windows, you need not upgrade just because Gates got gas as 
the joke goes.  If your needs are met, then the answer is no. after all no 
one is using your computer to do the tasks you enjoy.  if a critical need 
is not being met well, than perhaps the question to ask is if that need is 
being met better under Lion than where you are now.  Does that make sense?
