[QUOTE="Afrormosia, post: 1628505, member: 123521"] To try to get back to the original point of the discussion as to whether upgrading to Yosemite is worth it, my own experience would suggest you would be best off biding your time. My Yosemite upgrade on both a mid-2009 MacBook Pro and a Late 2009 iMac have essentially been stable without crashes BUT there have undoubtedly been some issues. Safari has experienced some real slowdowns from time to time; but Firefox and Chrome have not. There are numerous discussions on Apple's own website about this but you might take a look at [url]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6617931[/url] as a reasonably good example and some of the suggestions there have improved the performance of Safari but it is still not as good as it was under Mavericks. In particular, access to Google Maps through Safari now rarely works on either of my computers. It is OK on Firefox and Chrome. Another disaster area has been the printer driving for a networked Samsung CLP-775ND (fast colour laser). An updated driver now works but there is a significant delay between hitting the print button and the print being made; under Mavericks it was immediate and now is often about 30 seconds. That said, an HP printer continues to work just fine. In short, I think there remains to be some fine tuning needed to get Yosemite working properly. Once that has been done by Apple, I am fairly sure Yosemite will be a very good and stable program. [/QUOTE]
