Many thanks for your detailed responses and tips all! Background: Considering selling the two snowbooks (both maxed out in ram), I saw that they bring practically nothing or very little in resale. So it's time for a nice fresh install and use them for sofa surfing etc. (lifehacker recently called it "toilet surfing". I dunno... a computer /there/?). OS Upgrades: I'm always on the trailing edge, and like it there. On other macs (iMac, 13" and 15" as well as a 10" Dell) 10.6 runs happily, and I decided, like Fred advised, not to upgrade to 10.7 as long as I can avoid it. Again, thanks y'all.
