I'm all for modernism but their font-size is too damn small. One of the very, very few times I've ever had to use font zoom. Anyhow, after a few hiccups installing SL on my Mac Pro today (MacBook was flawless) — I can definitely notice some amazing improvements under the hood. It's really shaping up to be a pretty stellar OS.

  Didn't work for me on this article, it only pulled in one bullet point from the interview.

    Amazing! This is the first article I've had an issue with when using Readability. Dang. It's great everywhere else. :)

Would you be able to elaborate on the "hiccups" you encountered when upgrading your Mac Pro? Just interested to know what I might be in for.

  Had to hard reboot about 4 times. Every time it picked back up with the installation without a problem, but still quite frustrating. Now I can't login to my main admin account directly. I have to login through my gfs, and then switch over to the admin account. Anytime I login straight to admin, the dock, finder/taskbar, and icons never appear. It just sits there. I tried removing every app that starts on login, but still no lucky. Fortunately I can still access my main account by going around, but it's definitely annoying. I rarely ever turn my computer off so it's not that much of a bother, but lingering in my mind that my computer just isn't working right. :(

    Hmm, that sounds a bit hardcore. I'm a bit more wary of performing the upgrade now. Thanks for the info.

I just hit "cmd +" and Safari zoomed in a bit. IIRC, Firefox, IE and Opera all have something similar.

  At least Opera has a global default zoom level setting, which I've set to 150%. With the modern screen resolutions, I just can't read "normal" sized text on webpages anymore.

Agreed, while I experienced no hiccups, thankfully, on my very hickup prone MacBook pro, Snow Leopard is quite spectacular. And all of my software works just fine too. As a college student who hardly ever likes to pay for software, this is something I truly believe is worth it's (low) pricetag
