I've sat on my Lion upgrade for a while now because I'm in the middle of a project and don't want to have to install Java again until I have a bunch of free time. Jealous though, let us know how it goes.

Frankly, I put off upgrading until it's no longer possible, and hadn't even considered getting involved with Lion. You doing it to both of your Macs at the same time is pretty brave. Let us know how Lion helps them.

it says it's not supported, but that's not a big loss. Everything is working...so now I'm getting used to the "new" scrolling on the touch pad and going through the differences. I don't see any speed issues at all...and I like the launchpad. I had to upgrade iTunes.

It is not without some shortcomings, but it really works well, can export to anything Quicken to export to, can download from your bank. Best of all, it is written for the Mac.

I like it a lot. It has a app for the iPhone/Pod that I use instead of a check register. Both sync back and forth nicely.
