[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1267008, member: 190607"] One way to do a quick check to see how much of your current software won't work under Lion (and thus needs to be either upgraded or replaced) is to open up "System Profiler" (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Then in the left hand column, click on Software --> Applications, which will bring up a nice long list of *all* the applications and drivers on your computer. Click on "Kind" at the top to sort by the type of application (Intel, PowerPC, Universal, Classic). This will give you a printable/PDF-able list which you can make a checksheet out of. Anything that says "PowerPC" or "Classic" won't run under Lion. You should start making plans to update or replace these. Everything else is likely to be able to run under Lion. There is a wiki that can tell you which of your apps are compatible with Lion, and if there are updates available: [url=http://roaringapps.com/apps:table]App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps[/url] [/QUOTE]
