Thanks! That's good to know. I can't believe they' ve managed to make the upgrade process accessible throughout, that very impressive! What happens re files and email? Do you know if they're erased in the upgrade process?

The new system enhances does not replace the old with regard to voiceover from what I can gather from the public info available from apple so all the commands you know and love should still work.

Given that it will only cost $10 to upgrade, cost is not so much my concern I was more worried about the following two issues: 1. How complicated will it be to upgrade the system, both in terms of procedure, and making sure no files/data is lost? 2. Will it be a waste of time to learn the current system, only to have to relearn a new one when SL comes out?It sounds like the two systems will be quite different. Thanks in advance for any input on this.
