OK...so that happened...
Be glad vent crashed when it did, 5 minutes later my computer squeeled like a robotic rabbit getting its testes crushed by a strippers heel. Nearly deafened the whore on the skype call we were using to test.
Anyway, I think the lesson in all of this is...Do not, ever, install OS X Lion.
And for those who wanted to make it but couldnt...be glad.
