Re: Did anyone try OS X Lion on a MBA?

I've installed it to 4 macs at home and other than few kinks (reversing the default gesture scroll direction, wtf?) everything has gone very smoothly. I haven't noticed any performance issues compared to Snow Leopard. The slowest systems are two 2007 MBP 17" with 2.4 and 2.6GHz C2D and they're perfectly fine. I'm mostly interested about the new security features Lion brings: There are some major fixes inside Lion in this regard. I haven't yet upgraded my work MBP though, since it uses Symantec Full Disk Crypto which is known to have serious issues at system upgrades. Better wait for some other guinea pigs to sort the issues out first... ;-)

BTW: On some systems with fast disk I/O (ones with SSD basically) the initial Spotlight indexing might slow the system to crawl. This happened with my MBP 13". Just wait until the indexing is done and it'll be okay. Of course it's also possible to disabled the indexing altogether if you don't need it.

Would it have been so hard to actually answer the question
I did answer the question.

without insulting the asker ?
No, sorry he deserved it.

Have we really become as lazy as to not google for 3 letter acronym we don't know about?

Since when has it become an insulting to point this out?

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology; sometimes written as SMART) is a monitoring system for computer hard disk drives to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures.

When a failure is anticipated by S.M.A.R.T., the user may choose to replace the drive to avoid unexpected outage and data loss.


Say whatever you like I'll rather take false positives sometimes rather than data loss.

What ?!!?  Where did you "answer" the question ?  You gave him a link to six and a half MILLION results!!

Of which the 2nd is the obviously correct term. Surely we're not talking about National Institutes of Health...

And how on earth did he manage to deserve being insulted ?

For being lazy and not googling for it. Also, the "insulting" part is your invention. I don't find lmgtfy insulting at all.

As for your opinion of me, I don't give a damn really.
