Re: Mac questions
At least in dom navigation, elements are split by element like link, heading, control and so on, while for chunks of text I think its split by paragraphs (the p tag in HTML). I think the forum automatically does that when you put 2 newlines in a post.

There is a difference between selling and supporting a product. Look at any other hardware, say, an iPhone 4S. Apple still released iOS 8 for it, and if your iPhone breaks, you can have it repaired by them. However, they no longer sell it in the apple store
