I've had some trouble but a happy ending.
I just installed Snow Leopard on my iMAC on which I've had Mathematica
7.0.1.0 running wonderfully for a year. The first application I tested
was Mathematica and it failed badly. I got a warning dialog box that
with a offered exit or continue. I continued and then when I tried
evaluating a notebook I got an INTERNAL SELF-TEST ERROR: then it
crashed.
I opened it again and got weird fonts on all my entries.
I later tried running MS Word which asked me to install Rosetta
(Apple's "dynamic translator" for Power PC based applications).
I later rebooted the macintosh and tried Mathematica again. It came up
without trouble but was taking minutes to evaluate Plot[Sin[x]/x,
{x,-10,10}], so I aborted the calculation and restarted Mathematica.
Now everything comes up just fine.
It works as well as ever.
Hmmmm?
