I finally upgraded my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Once I knew I could run my main apps in the new operating system I decided to take the $20 plunge.<\/p>\n

The downloading and installation went off without a hitch, as I expected. Spent a good chunk of the afternoon familiarizing myself with the new features that I had only read and heard about. It won’t take me very long to adjust to the new way of computing, but what is taking me a while to get used to is the scrolling in the opposite direction. Too many years of doing it the same way on too many computers.<\/p>\n

Love the Notification Center, especially since Growl notifications stopped working with the last update to Snow Leopard.<\/p>\n

One huge unfortunate that I did not expect was losing every single Stickies note I had written and saved. Luckily I had an fairly recent Stickies Database I could open in TextEdit and copy into the newly created database, but I still lost a few recent notes.<\/p>\n

And I can now finally take full advantage of iCloud<\/a> and all it’s syncing.<\/p>\n

Plus, one of the main reasons for upgrading to Mountain Lion was so that I could download and begin using iBooks Author<\/a>. I have so many ebook ideas I’d like to create from all my photos and then put online in the iBookstore.<\/p>\n

Should be a fun next few days and weeks.<\/p>\n
