OK, I'll try to be patient. I'll also list what I don't like in Lion. Until then.... No book suggestions?

> Er, I was going to download Mountain Lion directly to my Mac after I had cloned Lion to my external drive. If I really hate Mt. Lion, then I want to be able to go back.
That's exactly what I thought...the expansion of my contraction, and it introduces a new wrinkle into the matter, so be patient.
In the meantime, it'll probably be worth your while to compile a list of your Lion likes/dislikes and post it in a new thread to see if there are Lion workarounds, Mt. Lion improvements, etc.
