Mountain Lion
I’ve upgraded my Mac OS X to Mountain Lion. On first impressions it appears to work well, it has some nice features. I particularly like the Notifications Bar you can toggle on and off, this gives you on quick glance – your latest emails and calendar entries.
My battery seems to be lasting longer than before so perhaps they’ve done some tweaking to the power management.
The Display Mirroring to Apple TV is very useful, it’s something we’ve been able to do on ios5 devices and now you can do it on the MacBook series, very useful for quickly demonstrating things or for doing presentations. We have an Apple TV hooked up to a DLP projector in our Meeting Room and it means any of us can just go in and toggle the display sharing, then instant meeting.
I’ve been going on the prune removing some old photos, music and applications to try and free up some space. I had 2x 128GB SSD in this but one of them failed so I’m running everything on one 128GB SSD. You are constantly thinking what to delete and what to keep. I think I need to get a replacement SSD so I can be back to 2 drives. I have plenty of HDDs but they kill battery and are slow (plus they where invented in the 50s, which is when my dad was invented!)
Nothing else to report, not done enough exploring of my new OS yet.
