Since there is no apparent technical reason not to upgrade, you have to rule out any personal reasons, eg, are you dependent upon any legacy software on your Macbook Pro such as AppleWorks or anything else which is not compatible with Mavericks? You'll have to do a little research in this area if you haven't done so already. Assuming that you're comfortable that your working environment won't be compromised by compatibility issues, you have appropriate backups, and your Macbook Pro has enough space on the hard drive, I can't see any reason not to proceed. With the significant differences in the feature list between Mavericks and 10.6.8, you'll eventually find that working in two increasingly different OSes will become frustrating. Having said all that, proceed at your own risk... :-) Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Mob 0403 046 948 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
