TotallyOz Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 OK. I know a lot of people get really tired of the discussion of Apple Products. However, I am a big fan and when something new comes out, I like to test it. Yesterday, the new Operating System for Apple Computers came out and I downloaded it. You can't buy it in stores yet and it is only available via the App Store for Macs. The cost was 29USD. I download it and it was almost 4G. It took a while to download as I guess hundreds of thousands around the world had been waiting for it. It is simple to update your computer to this new version. Download, wait for the install and you are set. A few new things I have seen: Mail: I love the new look of the Apple Mail program. It has conversations and it flows much better than any other mail client I have seen Apple produce. Safari: It is better and faster. The one thing I like the best is called Reading List. You can save any page to a reading list and come back and read it later. When the Cloud from Apple comes out, this will then sync with all your devices. Contacts: It is still very basic but much easier to use and easy to bring IPhoto images into the list. It says that you can add Facebook to the users contact and click facebook and it will bring up that users page. It doesn't work for me and I spent an hour trying to figure it out. I guess I'll have to wait a while for this to work right. Calendar: Looks better than before, but I didn't see major changes. The update is really geared to making the computer flow more like the IPad and it does. I love the new Mission Control and the way all my pages flow together. IMHO, this is a great update and I am glad I downloaded it! As always, Apple rules! BTW: they also updated the Mac Mini and the Airbook. Both upgrades look fantastic and with the inclusion of Thunderbolt, they will be lightening fast. http://www.macworld.com/article/161256/2011/07/mail_lion.html#lsrc.rss_news http://www.macworld.com/article/161225/2011/07/lion_address_book.html#lsrc.rss_news http://www.macworld.com/article/161267/2011/07/safari51_lion.html#lsrc.rss_news Quote
