The reversing of the scrolling direction is certainly going to take a lot of getting used to. The new way feels semi-natural with the track pad, but with a mouse wheel not so much.

Give it a week. After a couple of days your mind flips and suddenly the old way seems wrong.

An hour or so was enough for me. Just one thing to unserdtand: you are moving content, not the window above it. It's much easier to get if you ever used any new touchscreen devices.

And the old way is wrong—the viewport never moves as we scroll so we were always moving content. Just get used to inverted scheme.

Tried to update to Lion: couldn't do it. Tried to update Snow Leopard so I could update to Lion: computer now kernel panics on boot. Tried to reinstall Snow Leopard from DVD: turns out the disk drive is broken. Tried to install a Linux distro from a USB key: turns out they're nearly impossible to boot on a Mac. Still haven't figured out how to do it. This went well.

I tried to install Lion after purchasing it from the App Store. It kernel panicked during install and then TRAPPED ME at the installer. Despite restarting, using disk utility, etc, I was stuck. I erased the partition and tried to install again. Kernel panic. I tried putting Lion on a USB drive. Again, kernel panic In my desperation I just kept running the installer over and over again and ONE TIME it worked. I was so…

Was SL more stable?

Seriously disappointing, 2gb ram in a $1000 laptop? How much more could bumping that for 4 actually cost them, $15? 4gb ram/256gb hd was expected to be the new base, not the ceiling. Guess I'll have to wait on the other 'ultrabooks'

last year i stepped away from the apple brand. just much happier going the FOSS route. i now have a thinkpad x220 running gentoo with the following options: IPS display, 2.7GHz core i7, 8GB 10666 RAM, 160GB intel SSD, bluetooth3, usb3, 3 usb ports (one always on), sdhc, express slot, displayport, vga, and a 15 hour battery. size is 12.5" and weight is about 3.5 pounds. i also got a docking station for it (oh i missed…
