In the past I liked to explore the latest release ASAP, and typically 
installed it on its own drive so I could maintain my current stable 
OS and simply set the startup disk to use the new OS when I needed 
it. But nowadays with data ports in the terabytes, I'm a little more 
cautious.

Since I am preparing to load a new machine, I would prefer to install 
Lion over a clean install of Snow Leopard. But from the iOS makeover 
of the Mac GUI in Lion, I can't say I'm thrilled about going there 
right now.

Since I have four drive bays, I may load up Snow Leopard on a 3TB 
drive and install another for Time Machine, and drop in another for 
Lion and a spare in the fourth.

That is unless I get to lazy!
