Good news CheckBook, CheckBook Pro & Audiobook Builder users! The latest versions of your personal finance manager<\/a> and audiobook organizer<\/a> are compatible with Mountain Lion.<\/p>\n

As many of you know, OS X Mountain Lion, is now available on the Mac App Store. Apple’s latest cat boasts\u00c2\u00a0200+ new features and improvements and appears to be worth the investment of $19.99.\u00c2\u00a0Feeling resistant to change? Check out Apple’s alphabetical list<\/a> of what’s new to gear up for the upgrade. \u00c2\u00a0Or look up “Mountain Lion” on your favorite search engine and uncover an ocean of reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two straight-forward and detailed reviews worth reading are: Apple OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 review<\/a> and\u00c2\u00a0Apple Mountain Lion Review: A No-Brainer Operating System Upgrade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brian Heater’s\u00c2\u00a0detailed review<\/a>, including a video<\/a><\/strong> guiding readers through the process of upgrading, will certainly motivate many readers to upgrade. Says Heater, “It’s a simple sequence of waiting for the download, sitting through a few reboots and then, presto, you have a new OS.” Sounds good, right? Though he does also point out that, “these upgrades don’t include any significant changes to the overall look and feel,” the reviewer’s overall impression is that Mountain Lion is worth both the minimal hassle to upgrade and the price.<\/p>\n

Joanna Stern’s look at Mountain Lion<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0highlights the ease of use, includes an explanation of some of the most-used features, and a word of advice regarding 3rd party Apps. \u00c2\u00a0Stern reminds users, “Speaking of apps, I didn’t have any issues installing third-party apps on two laptops running Mountain Lion. If there are specific apps you rely on you will want to check that they are compatible with the new software to be safe.”<\/p>\n
