my machine is more than 5 years old. its also not exactly on supported apple hardware (a hackintosh). it has some other issues that is making it hard to work with (voiceover crashes sometimes). I would put OS 10.7 on here if I could, but the hardware is old enough that even installing rollbacks of some device drivers is not possible.
that, more than anything else is why I need a new mac. unfortunately, I have no spare funds and I have been looking around for a grant that would allow me to get newer technology I am in serious need of either a macbook pro (recent vintage) or a good mac mini. -eric On Jul 6, 2012, at 4:53 AM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > Well, you say you need a new Mac for otherwise, you cannot upgrade to the > latest version of CleanMyMac? wow!
