Yabbut, both apfel and oogle drop browsers for the older OS's and most
of us require a web browser for normal work. The alternatives for 10.5
browsers are unworkable, and 10.6 will soon go that way. I could care
less about any downgrades put in place from 10.5 to 10 .12. I'd just
like my software (and peripherals) to work.
My complaint is that it is all arbitrary and artificial to make folks
buy new hardware and software. (whether billygates or apfel)

They already have.
To be honest, unless you’re looking for some of the features of the
newer OSs’, just leave well enough alone. I do it more for the
challenge than anything else. I can’t say that there are features in
El Cap or Sierra that I care about or need.
I recently bought a Mac Pro 3,1 to get into El Cap natively, and now
with Sierra coming out, it’s a legacy machine.
I sort of chuckle when I hear people getting all worked up about their
old machines not being supported. Apple has had a hardware and
software legacy policy in place for years that’s pretty much
unchanged. This is nothing new and the new releases fall right into
place with the terms of that policy.

Since apfel has decided to go all Billygates and arbitrarily force
people to abandon pre-2010 machines with 10.12, does that include i5
and i7 machines? I see they have changed the nomenclature with el
crap. Where my mosheen was Macbook pro 8.1 before, now it is called
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) in el crap.
Obviously this machine is still ok, but the other macbooks in the
family will be SOL. One, the macbook 1,1 is already bypassed by el
crap, so it becomes a linux machine, I guess.
Dan said he thinks the hackintosh crowd will find a way to make older
machines work. What do you all think about this new sales scam?
