According to www.TechCrunch.com, there’s nine things to do after installing Mac OS X Lion, and we think it’s a pretty good list. Except for number three. Here is TechCrunch’s list of nine, and our take after each.
- Leave It Alone For A Few Hours – My computer took 7 hours to reindex the hard drive’s content.
- Check out PDF Signing In Preview – Insteading of printing, signing and faxing documents, just send them back with your digital signature. Very nice. And very easy.
- Reverse Mouse/Touchpad Scrolling – Yes, it’s different. But, yes, it’s the future. You might as well get used to it.
- Re-enable Dot Indicators Under Running Apps – Simple, yet useful. At least we think so.
- Software Update – It’s the only way to get the most out of your apps. Like full-screen mode for iWork.
- Disable Dashboard In Mission Control – We could take or leave this one. Actually, we left it…Dashboard is still in Mission Control, and it’s come in handy a time or two. But no big deal.
- Give Filevault Another Chance – Much improved. Much worth trying out.
- Learn The New Multi-Touch Gestures – We couldn’t agree more. As we stated earlier, it’s the future. While Apple isn’t forcing our hand just yet (no pun intended), they will. Probably sooner rather than later. Our guess is the next new iMac to rollout comes with a trackpad instead of a mouse.
- Disable Autocorrect – After one day, didn’t even realize it existed. I’m either a great speller or I didn’t do much work. Regardless, I’ll reserve judgement on this one.
There you have it. A pretty good list to get you started. And we’d love to know which ones you think are dead on, or just dead wrong.
