[DM-MUG] Article: What Snow Leopard Broke

[Ray Bowler]

Alan,

I thought I was good to go also but my son-in-law mentioned  
compatabilty so I checked. Victoria's suggestion to no upgrade is  
always a good option but Leopard has some things which I want-faster  
and smaller are big. My wife spends many hours each day on the  
computer and on the Internet so any speed gains have an impact.
