So are you @surgesoda on 9to5Mac? Just curious.

Same here.

*edit: I figured it out. my mind isn't working. It has to do with iTunes Connect. lol.
Same 38k file update for me too, but I also had something called Application Loader. Anyone else get that too? It was 71.4MB.

No, I'm just a long time user (and curmudgeon) who is particularly unimpressed/disappointed with Lion. I now know how Vista users felt.

I understand that you may not be thrilled with Lion, but to suggest Lion is Apple's Vista makes you look foolish. I'm not thrilled with the new scrolling either. The left/right swipes often make no sense (such as in iCal. A calendar is not a book. In iCal, swipe up should be Next. Swipe down should be Back). You can always keep scrolling the way it was, y'know.
...that being said, Lion has been hugely successful. Lion bugs versus Vista bugs? Please...
Though not perfect, Lion is proving to be a great OS.

If you are used to an iPad, the 'new' scrolling is indeed more natural. Of course, I've accidentally tried to scroll on my macbook by touching the screen more than once.
Overall, Lion changes things, many for the better. Out of the box, it was more simplified, which is good for new users.
iCal and address book though, suck to high heaven. Not a fan of either of those in any way.

Yeah, clicking that check-box is like running a marathon! I nearly didn't survive.
