Does anybody have experience upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6? I switched when Leopard first came out, and on the PC side, upgrading was usually risky compared to simply reformatting and reinstalling everything. But these days I'm a lot busier, and don't really want to be bothered reinstalling all my apps, rebuilding my file structure, and generally starting from scratch. Are there any issues with just using OSX's upgrade function? Or should I really be thinking about setting aside a weekend to reformat and reinstall? Thanks! ZS |

Everything you have should remain and shouldn't be any issues..most programs have already been upgraded to work with SL..so worse comes to worse, you'll have to upgrade your apps.. Regards |

So at this point it's not so much if other folks having experience with upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6...in your case you may not even be able to do it (depending on your computer). - Nick - Computer slow, too many "beachballs", read this: Beachballs - Computer seems slower than it used to?
