[MacTUG] Mountain Lion is out

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

I decided to bump my mac to 10.8

As I really would be happy if the desktop stayed at Snowleopard for a long
time, haha, I am happy to note that there are no earth shattering changes

I think a user would be hard pressed to tell the diff between it and lion.
Given that lion changed some things for the sake of change -- "fake"
leather on iCal (now called calendar) was an 'improvement' -- it reminded
me of what was supposedly Oskar Wilde's famous last words "Either those
curtains go or I do" haha


Anyhow, 3 hours and nothing has 'blowed up'

I am happy that I will be able to get 10.8 updates for the iMacs I bought
in June -- that update will sit for a term at least as I still have about
10 macs that need updating before I can install 10.8. These macs are now
being rolled out with Snow Leopard on them -- the first time that I have
rolled out macs with an 'obsolete OS' (I guess Snow Leopard is really
obsolete as it is 2 versions ago, haha)
