Q: Downgrading from mountain lion to snow leopard
A few days ago I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Long story short, I hate it and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I don't even care about getting my $20 back. I just want my machine the way it was before I installed this disaster. I tried using Time Machine to restore to a previous date, that doesn't work (can't even click on the "Restore" button - nothing happens when I do). I tried re-installing from the Snow Leopard install disk. That doesn't work either. Is there an easy-ish way to do this? I don't want to have to back up and then erase my whole hard drive, which is what I'm thinking I may have to do. Is there a better/easier/faster way? Is it even possible to use the SL installation disk twice??
iMac (20-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

No easy way, your only choice without a bootable clone is some install 10.6 again, might require erasing the Disk, then Install Lion again, them pray your backup will restore your info properly.
Disappointing to see the direction our OS has taken, isnt it!?
