Upgrade to Lion

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Kay, interesting stuff on excluding the TM disk form a backup.
 Sounds like even though it's listed to be excluded, it isn't!

I also found a comment on one of the blog posts indicating how to get rid
of the Spotlight index file and start over.  I'm tempted to try that but
wondering how long it will take to rebuild the index!
