Request for the hosts: please incorporate a saving feature

You mean Command and left arrow??

I use a copy tracking program … clipper 1.1.

That sounded good, so i checked it as well - unfortunately, the now "dirty" word 'PPC' is in the description so it won't work with Lion.... and that is the partition I'm using mostly right now. I do have an up-to-date fully bootable SL partition, but I'm not about to boot into that just to post here. I may try the advanced editor; but I just don't appreciate having to go through another page load to post so I usually don't - using these forums has become difficult and frustrating enough.

Weeeellll,,,,, let's just say that aside from the things that cause extreme "annoyedness" (Resume, Versions, Autosave, MobileBackups/Snapshots), I do like the new look of Mail. And I have turned off everything that can be turned off or tweaked - it still exhibits some really strange behavior. Other than that, not much change since I've decided to ignore most of the "features". It does seem to be a bit more responsive; that may be the 64 bit vs. the 32 bit and that may also be the reason for this: it is a memory hog; 2 GB is only good enough for say, Text Edit and maybe one other thing - if you want to actually do something, 4 GB would be the minimum and 8 GB would be good for iLife stuff. I've got 12 GB, so I don't have a problem, but kernel_task consumes close to 1 GB and Safari appears to eat RAM for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and uses it all after a while - I don't use Safari, but I've seen enought reports about it. And then there is the mysteriously disappearing hard drive space - I don't have that problem either because I don't use Time Machine and have MobileBackups/Snapshots turned off. Those features backup everything if TM is not attached and keep doing it until you hook it up. The ~/Library is now hidden - surprisingly, the System Library is still visible - go figure. In any case, you can resurrect it with a Terminal command and it'll stay visible. And then there is Rosetta - or, rather, it isn't there any more. So, no PPC apps. And my favorite iMovie version - iMovie HD 6.04 (old, but heaps better than whatever came later) is no longer supported I just learned; I'm currently trying to work with it - it keeps crashing, but still working when it's not.....

So, I've not made a final decision; I've partitioned my hard drive and have both SL and Lion. Will give it a bit more of a chance to hopefully get more options to control the truly annoying things (options are a good thing!) and whatever bugs out, but I'm absolutely keeping my SL partition updated.

What about the full screen business? I would find that very annoying.

So did I when I tried it once - I'm sure it's great on a smallish laptop - it simply does not work for me on a 27" monitor and the icons in Launchpad are about 2" large - tacky at best. Fortunately neither is mandatory - I ignore Launchpad and still use the dock and so far, not one app has opened in full screen mode by default, so that is being ignored as well. Basically, what I've got is a 27" iMac that would be trying to emulate an iOS device if I didn't ignore/turn off some of the features. If I have an option, I don't mind it at all.

But, I also feel that one needs to be able to control Resume because it could potentially be a serious privacy/security issue. How about visiting one client and having their private/financial info and SSN on a page. Visiting the next client, you open up Numbers/Pages/whatever and guess what - the last page(s) open up for anyone to see (anything you've worked on). Having every tab of FF open up at bootup is just mildly annoying since I prefer to start with a clean slate, but the other scenario scares me.
