[QUOTE="Nick Naym, post: 1401329, member: 65375"] I've yet to upgrade to Lion because I rely very much on Palm Desktop, a PIM that no longer is available nor supported. It ran fine under Leopard, barely runs under Snow Leopard, and I absolutely doubt it'll run under Lion. Were it not for that, I'd have moved from Snow Leopard to Lion several months after its release — I always wait a while, in case there are some new-release glitches. (I also have no idea what to get to replace Palm Desktop when I do move to Lion, Mountain Lion, or whatever.) In your case, however, you're a new user, and I can see no reason for buying an older machine with an older OS (except, perhaps, if it were a gift, or a very well-kept machine at an absolutely bargain price that you would keep for a while — say, until you were completely comfortable with the Mac, and Apple introduces some newer models and further OS upgrades — both of which happen rather frequently). Quite frankly, there are quite a few folks with older Macs who have yet to even upgrade to Leopard. Apple's OSs and Macs tend to be evolutionary, and can last a long time before you find yourself "forced" to replace them. [/QUOTE]
