Jungle Noises

Well, it's here and on my Mac, but the jungle noises are coming from me, not OSX Lion! Maybe it's a VICTORY roar 'cause I conquered the Lion...

When I finally got Lion on and running…it was really a disappointment for all the work! There are several worthless apps added in for confusion's sake. The email change is the only plus outside of the new iCloud app which I will NOT be using most likely.  I down loaded the Lion app from the App Store for $29.99, a good price. Then I found out I couldn't install it because of my hard drive set up…*: ( After checking with the support forum, I realized I would have to change my partition set up…*: (  The forum said to erase the entire hard drive to make a single partition that could be reformatted with Snow Leopard, then Lion applied with an afterward redo of BootCamp, adding Windows back…*: (  Lucky me, after erasing my Windows BootCamp (unnecessary sad move),  I found out it wouldn't let me erase the main boot drive…Thank you very much! But, I could repartition it without erasing it because it was a really big partition so I made two partitions out of it, a smaller one for the restore/recover feature and a larger one for the actual main boot drive (using the disk utility, click the partition and make a slidy move till both sides are the size you want.) So now I have 3 partitions, Lion HD, Lion Recovery, and a blank BootCamp waiting for my Windows 7 installation. Since I did not/could not erase my main HD, the Lion Update did not wipe any of my files YEA!

So far it is running just fine, just don't know that it was worth the hassle. As I use it I'm finding a few more perks, nothing that is amazing though. which leaves me...
