![]() I discovered there is a whole website devoted to this. I did read Apple’s Mac OS X Lion webpage, it doesn’t say anything about Microsoft Office 2004 being broken by the install or Warcraft III or any number of other applications. You can say well you should have researched before upgrading, to which I say bullshit. Discovering that dozens of apps I downloaded and in many cases paid for no longer work was a shock. ![]() My computer is about a year old, it could use a little more RAM perhaps, but I do a lot with it. I certainly didn’t need to spend time and money upgrading to it. I still didn’t think I should pay money to get features I already had, so I had no plans to upgrade to Microsoft 2011 for Mac, that was until I upgraded to Lion. I wasn’t alone in thinking this was dumb, as Microsoft added VBA support back to Office 2011 for Mac. I stayed at Microsoft Office 2004 because I paid so much money for it, but also because I don’t like the changes Microsoft has made, particularly in removing VBA from Excel. Now I just get an error message when I click on their icons. I spent uncountable hours trying to master Excel. They relied on emulation and automatic translation between the instruction sets of the PowerPC and Intel chips. Turns out older apps denoted PowerPC which makes little sense as I have an Intel chip and so do my sister and mother, won’t work in Mac OS X Lion. The upgrade itself went relatively smoothly, but when apps I use everyday and were in my dock had big no good symbols drawn through the icon, well I told my sister and mother not to upgrade. I have a lot of experience using computers, upgrading computers, developing software, etc. I’ve been using OS X since the public beta. I decided I would upgrade and then see whether my mom and sister should upgrade. It’s a 4.1 MB download.I knew Lion was coming. Registered users who purchased directly from Ambrosia can upgrade for free if you received a licensed copy of Snapz Pro X with your Mac, you can upgrade to 1.0.7 for $19. And, in a welcome change, Snapz Pro X now defaults to overwriting screenshots if you enter the same name as an existing screenshot this eases the process of replacing bad screenshots. A number of annoying bugs have been fixed, including problems Snapz Pro X would cause when taking screenshots of X11 applications, a conflict with SpellCatcher X, and problems with capturing full-screen applications like games (and possibly Keynote presentations). The update also adds localization for Korean (joining Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese) and makes localized documentation a separate download, thus reducing the size of the Snapz Pro X download significantly. The new version can capture movies of screen actions with less impact on the Mac during capturing (at the cost of a lower frame rate).
