I don't have any FAT32 discs ;-) Mac or NTFS (you can get read/write 
software for Mac) 

Too much of Lion seems to rely on touchpad swipes, and the changes they have 
made to Spaces does not suit my working style.....

I use Carbon Copy Cloner too though I have never used it to try to back up a 
FAT32 disc on a Mac?

The biggest problem for me in Lion is not the interface, I quite like it and 
I rarely like things I am familiar with to change. No the problem for me I 
have a lot of legacy software which won't run, the most important being my 
film scanner software. I can use Vuescan but prefer the Nikon software I am 
familiar with.
Also I have an old Canon photo printer which I like, I am not sure Lion will 
drive it.
