Hi Guys and Guyesses.
After reading another thread about various Operating Systems for Mac PCs I'm starting to wonder if it is worth upgrading my own Mac. I have a Mac Mini from mid 2010 with 8gb of RAM, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and Snow Leopard. I upgraded the RAM myself and she runs like a dream and, apart from a glitch re the resolution when I changed TV screens (now a 70" LED screen that blows my socks away ) has caused me no problems at all.
But the thing is, never having seen a Mac running Mountain Lion and being to far away from a store to go for a look, how do I know if I will get any benefit from buying and installing it?
I'm only a general PC user. I enjoy my computers and will happily pass a full day playing poker, browsing eBay or writing posts on any one of a dozen forums that I read. Using iPlayer and watching movies is another way that we pensioners pass the time.
So what advantages will I see if I upgrade to Mountain Lion and if you made the change yourself, did you find it worth while?
Cheers,
Steve
