So I got an invite from Apple (If it really is Apple), to Beta test Mavericks.
I have one partition with Snow Leopard for legacy software, and the other is Mountain Lion.
I do use my home computer for freelance, but it's not as critical as my work computer.
I was going to upgrade when it comes out anyway , soooooo…

Should I go for it?

Should I install on an external HD, or just overwrite Mountain Lion?

I would! But make really sure that the invite is from the mothership.

External or separate partition. I wouldn't overwrite your current system.

Meh.
Somehow, it's just not as exciting as it used to be.

Just a sign of age.

I mean maturity of computing platforms. Naturally.

Age? Maturity? Naturally?

I beg your pardon, Sir.
I BEG YOUR PARDON!

Edit: Not sure where I remember that quote from, but I can assure you, it had nothing to do with a Rose Garden.

That's some good sleuthing Kate, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Marx Brothers, not a criminal trial. smile
