I want to upgrade so I can install the latest update to Aperture, but have been advised by a very good Mac "midwife" friend of mine to hold back until I get a new computer, as she has observed many glitches when installing Lion on older machines like mine. I know that my machine is not compatible with M. L.

To be honest, you are the only one that can judge if Lion is OK for you 
or not.

The one thing you must do before upgrading, if you do, is to make a 
bookable clone of your 10.6 system, on an external drive. That way, if 
anything does go wrong, you can easily then roll back to the system as 
it was before the upgrade. You can use CCC or SuperDuper! to make such a 
clone.
