Re: Rolling back my Macbook Air for PT use, how far should I go?
Yeah, having spent a bit of time tinkering with SL outside of PT this morning to make comparisons, I see what you're saying, a lot has changed lately. That got me wondering about a dual boot, but with only a 128 SSD in there it seems like an excessive waste of space if there's no big advantage to being back in SL when it comes to PT use. Lion it is then I guess, unless anybody else chimes in with a dealbreaker.

How do you roll back your system? I am interested in possibly doing this as well.

Re: Rolling back my Macbook Air for PT use, how far should I go?
Hi, I have had no major accessibility issues in mountain lion. What major issues have you had as lots of improovements have been made in mountain lion and if Apple broke accessibility you would not want to hear the complaints? Wipe my mac in icloud needs major accessibility work as none of the web buttons on icloud.com are labeled.

Re: Rolling back my Macbook Air for PT use, how far should I go?
The only accessibility issues in ML is with Pro TOols outside of PT its is a great OS with improvements in accessibility. How to wipe your disk and do a clean install. Get a bootable copy of the os you want to install on cd or usb thumb drive or on sd card if your mac has an sd card reader. Go into start up disc in system preferences and set that install disc as your start up disc, then restart your system. Give it a minute or two then turn on voice over. in the table navigate to disc utility and select your macintosh hd,, delete it, and then choose that new untitled drive as the place to install your new OS. If you have an air with an SSD or an pro, a multi time wipe to erase the data is not recommended, and disc utility may prevent u from doing it.

Re: Rolling back my Macbook Air for PT use, how far should I go?
if this is a general purpose machine as well as for PT use. I suggest lion as its miles ahead of SL in accessibility iMO. I really could use my mac day to day without annoyances till lion personally. And it would work well for mixing and etc as mine has slightly similar specs and works fine for mixing and etc. On Aug 28, 2012, at 7:56 PM, Scott Chesworth scottcheswo...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have a Macbook Air here that I primarily use when I'm on the move.
