Upgrade to Lion

[stephen barncard]

Maybe this doesn't affect *your* Save methodology, but it affects *mine*. The
Macintosh used to be about having several ways to accomplish a task, now we
are confronted with fewer choices, THEIR choices. That's my problem with
what's happening to the OS.

When I save an audio or video file, I don't want to depend on ANY stupid
database to put pieces together. I can see NO advantage to this. The file
system already breaks things up with the table of contents, do we really
need another level of abstraction?
 This is nothing to do with being set in my ways, or not being open to new
devices, this is a curve ball experiment executed at my expense to fix
something  that is not broken. We cut files to pieces to send over the
internet for redundancy, but there is no advantage to a local user that I
can see. At any rate we are not given a choice here.
