After posting my last reply to you, I ended up checking into it. I did go ahead and convert our MobileMe to iCloud. The nice thing about it was that apparently it is free if you have a compatible device (the way I understood it). The only cost is if you want more than 5G of storage, then you have to pay to have more.
Now for us, iCloud is really somewhat pointless since we don't have any other compatible devices besides our home computer. (We have a 1st or 2nd generation iTouch which is not compatible.) So we don't need or have the capability to "push" our data to other devices. But I did decide it was worth it just to have another "backup" for our stuff and the ability to access it away from home (if I understood that part right).
As for Lion - for the most part it is very much like Tiger (which I LOVED), but there are some changes here and there and I haven't liked all of them. I found Tiger overall to be easier to use and understand. One problem we have been having since getting the new computer that we almost NEVER had with our old computer was internet connection/wifi problems. I kept thinking maybe we had something configured wrong, but no. A couple weeks ago, we got an update notice from Apple for Lion, which was supposedly supposed to fix a problem with wifi not working after waking from sleep (which was often when our problem was), but it hasn't completely solved our issues. I'm wondering if it is an issue with our older modem and airport express and them not getting along with the new computer somehow. We are thinking about getting a new modem from our ISP and also an Airport Extreme to give us a faster and stronger wifi network. I'll be curious to see if our issues are fixed by that.
So overall, Lion is fine but I don't quite love it as much as Tiger. And I was also irked to see that they are already coming out with another new OS this summer!! Ugh, I can't keep up.
Anyway, good luck with your MobileMe issue. Hope you are able to get it worked out!
