This update is a solution to only part of the problems I'm facing now:
1. Two core duo machines in our house both incompatible with Lion, hence no iCloud, and we'll lose MobileMe in a couple of months.
2. Still running Quicken 2002 (yes, 2002!) via Rosetta on 10.6.8. It still works. It still imports QIF files, and I've even written scripts to convert our bank's CSV files into QIF for import, as well as downloading stock quotes from Yahoo. Talk about workarounds...
Upgrading machines will enable Lion and give us use of iCloud.
But If I upgrade hardware to solve #1, then #2 becomes a problem, requiring the new Quicken update, and there's no upgrade/import path directly from our existing Quicken files into the new Lion-ready Q2007.
I think I just talked myself out of upgrading computers. Technology is a minefield.
