[DM-MUG] New Lion OS

[Jon Thompson]

I posted a blog post about my experiences with Lion on Friday. Take a
look at that. http://dmevolve.com/2011/07/22/two-days-with-a-lion/

Also, I'm running a special on Lion upgrades and orientation. For
$150, you get two hours of my time, in which I'll check your apps for
compatibility, install Lion, get you oriented to some of the larger
changes, as well as set your Mac up for remote support, which will
allow assistance without me even entering your home of business.
