Make sure to uncheck the boxes that say "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" and "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY" in the preference pane, too.

Some tech writers believe you should go with the new prefs for about a week and if you still hate it, then change the pref pane.

It took me about a day to get used to the new scrolling direction. It makes sense in my brain now.

Is it better or preferable in some way

I'm holding out on installing Lion for about a month, so I don't yet know.

I was wondering about that. It's weird that my brain was going back and forth with no problems between the two styles. Human brains are pretty amazing, actually.
Well, I switched mine under one ID on my computer but not the other one. And then was totally confused for a few minutes until I realized I needed to switch the second one also.

Someone noted on Facebook that today's date makes it Wifi Day: 8.02.11 (yes, there's an extra period in the date, but what are you gonna do?).
