I bought a mac. It came with Snow Leopard CDs. I cleaned the disk and want to 
re-install Snow Leopard. I can’t “Certificate Expired”.
Google: easy: iTunes -> purchased: download (ooops I never purchesed or 
downloaded a copy, I have the CDs), OK Apple Download: only the earliest is 
later than that. (IIRC Yosemite)
Oh Apple! he politely lamented

So how does the poor boy install Snow Leopard? Brain surgery on the CD springs 
to mind but that is too involved for moi. No network and fiddle the date?
