Barry,
you're not alone. I too have Weatherman, Evernote and Day One still showing after many Mac App Store launches and downloads of them. I realize that your talking of the App Store but they both use iTunes don't they. I'm at a lose. I thought cleaning Mountain Lion caches would help, but no. If they stay that way that's more than a distraction if more join them.

No. That would be for iOS applications. I was talking of WeatherMan
Lite, a Mac program. I finally solved the problem in a round about
way. Someone on either this list or another list suggested that I
delete the application and re-download it. To play it safe, though, I
dragged it to my desktop, made a ZIP file of it and then deleted it,
so I would have the original. The App Store then let me re-download
it. But guess what!! the new one I downloaded did not work. Double
click on it and the icon flashes and it does not launch. So I deleted
it, opened the ZIP archive, dragged the application back into the
/Applications folder and now it works well and the icon does not have
the red "1" showing I have to update something. Stupid way to do it,
Apple.

Since I'm still on Snow Leopard I don't know about Mountain Lion caches.

Yes I must say OWC does make everything easy with their videos and printed material that they send along with the drives. In our case it was the optical burner that needed replacement.
We followed the booklet step by step even through some of the scary parts i.e. Unpluging the keyboard but with gentleness everything when fine. We were up and running in no time.
A few day later our macbook pro went dead. Horrors what did we do wrong, how much will it cost to repair, do we need to replace it? You know the scenario so we called a repair place since the apple store requires one to make an appointment through the internet but we did have a number to call so we decided to try apple first.
We waited our turn and told the fellow the computer went dead leaving out the replacement part of the story. Off they went the computer and he into the back room. We waited concerned parents.
He soon returned holding baby and a tiny screw. He told us that one of the thirteen screws holding the keyboard together had fallen on something electronic causing the black out. So our keyboard only has twelve screws holding it in but works good as new.
Cost of the fit, the gas driving to the mall.
Moral to the story check all screws for tightness, you just never know. Would I do it again YES a life with out risks isn't worth much to live anyways and not near as much fun.

It is pretty easy to swap out a hard drive on a MacBook or MacBook Pro.
the OWC folks have a step by step picture based DIY (Do It Yourself)
Section on doing this.
Check here: <http://eshop. macsales. com/installvideo s/
<http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/ > > (MacSales is
OWC)
You need a small jeweler's size Philips screwdriver and you need a
Number 6 Torx screwdriver. Torx is that sort of 6 pointed star type of
screw head and are common in laptops.
OWC sells a computer screwdriver kit that includes Philips and Torx
screwdrivers. You can get Torx screwdriver bits in multiple sizes to
fit a universal holder at nearly any major hardware store.
The process should take about 20 minutes.

I couldn't disagree more strongly. The MacBook hard drive change is accomplished by removing 2 small phillips screws with a zero phillips screwdriver you buy at Home Depot for a dollar NOT OWC for $10 or more plus a #6 Torx screwdriver you buy there for another dollar as well. After unscrewing the 2 screws on the metal bracket where the battery was, you simply slip it out to find a plastic tab you use to unplug the old drive. Then use the #6 Torx screwdriver to unscrew the drive from its mounting bracket, screw on the new drive and slide the new drive back into place, put the bracket back where it was and put the two tiny screws back in, put the battery back in and your done. Any IDIOT can do it with no danger to the computer whatsoever in about 5 minutes total. And while you're in there don't forget to put two 2GB sticks in for good measure.
OK so Carol appears to be unavailable to divulge what MacBook she owns nor the size of her drive.
My point is Carol, you need to buy an OCZ Agility 4 256GB SSD on sale for $162 or if you really want to go all out, like I did for my 2008 Mac Pro, the 512GB model for $323 to replace your 20th century antique moving parts hard drive. Mean Time Between failure is 28 years. We're looking at 63¢/GB vs $2/GB in March. SSDs are now finally affordable and also much better technology in 2012 than even a year ago. Your MacBook will blaze. Also max out your RAM to get the most out of your Lion installation. If you forgot to do it before they took it off the App Store, just call Apple 800.MY.APPLE and they will email you a link to where you can still buy and download it.

The SSD Review: OCZ Agility 4 256GB SSD Review - Workhorse Performance & Top Value
http://thessdreview.com/our-reviews/ocz-agility-4-256gb-ssd-review-workhorse-performance-and-top-value/
The mention of SSD drives to date was considered to be radically too expensive for our membership's budgets. But not any more Carol. And ya gotta thank Apple for making SSD a household acronym for Solid State Drive. Welcome to the 21st century Carol.
Use your DealNews.com App or the DealNews.com website to find the deals which appear weekly on these models at Dell, Newegg and Amazon among many more. OCZ is bullish on rebates which they create and issue weekly with very short lifespans of a couple of days at the most to drive their sales. OCZ is a global developer of SSDs based near where I live in San Jose California, home to the world famous Silicon Valley where Apple is also based.
Alternately, sell the MacBook for $500-$700 so you can get a MacBook Pro that will run Mountain Lion for $300-$500 and put the SSD in there instead. The new lower end 2.5GHz dual-core Ivy Bridge 13" MacBook Pro is already selling for only $999 and the 16GB third party RAM upgrade is only $99. Plus the computer in general runs radically faster to begin with. Then when you add an Agility 4 it's like a rocket ship.
So the idea of keeping the old MacBook that can't run Mountain Lion is not very good unless you're flat broke.

I'm all for not wasting money on tools you don't need but be careful with
screwdrivers. Cheap ones are often made of soft metal and will damage the
screw heads. Make sure the tips are good quality and a snug fit in the
screw heads.

I spent many hours on the phone with various levels of support at Apple on this subject, as well as spending more time on the phone with my local store and making a visit to that store. NOWHERE did I find anyone who would give me a link or any other way to access Lion for purchase since the release of Mountain Lion. If anyone actually received such a link to purchase Lion since the release of Mountain Lion, I urge them to share it here. I have already moved to Mountain Lion so it would be of no use to me but it could help others.

You cannot make a blanket statement about this. All Macbooks are not alike. The 2008 that you (and I) is one of the easiest models to modify. The later models are significantly more difficult, or so I'm told.
Personally, I found the most difficult part of the 2008 was opening the case, and the most nerve racking part was peeling back the delicate ribbon cable glued firmly to the top of the drive.

Barb, I have found HP's customer service by telephone outstanding. They
have given me free help even when the warranty on my HP printer had already
expired.
Their toll free telephone number is a little hard to find because they had
rather you help yourself online. Just call their Customer Support at
800-474-6836. In the day time the calls go to a call center in Toronto
that has about 1,000 customer service representatives with excellent
English language skills. At night one of my calls went Manila,
Philippines. The CSR was a little difficult to understand but was always
willing to repeat anything so I could understand.

Howdy.
I just watched the NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity land on
Mars.
Watched it using the NASA TV app on the iPad showing a live broadcast
from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
<http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/index.html >
The JPL control room was littered with MacBook Pros at what looked like
almost every desk and work station.
it is an amazing convergence of technology and somehow very emotional.
The thought that a rocket powered "crane" can use cables to lower a six
wheeled rolling laboratory the size of an automobile to a safe landing
on Mars is astonishing.

This is indeed a great accomplishment considering the many maneuvers
necessary to land Curiousity. I downloaded the JPL/NASA video 7 minutes
of terror, the HD version. It's a great video that goes into all of the
necessary maneuvers and accomplishments. It is well done and I will
probably hang onto it forever, however long that is!
I saw a tweet by a director at JPL stating that the mission cost
approximately $7.00 per US citizen, but look at all of the excitement it
brought. That says it all. I'm extremely sad that Obama canned the
manned space program at this point. I hope, however, that we continue
to pursue missions such as this one.

I watched it on CNN. As a retired engineer who worked for a company with a major role in the manned space program (although I worked on other things) I agree strongly with you on this Dan. The more I think of the technological challenges of such a complex task the more admiration I have for the people who accomplished it. A 'Well Done' to all.

Even many hours after the fact, and being an application engineer, I am
amazed at what half a million lines of code can accomplish!
