Stephen,
You're certainly right; but I'm sure with Richmond that it is the
"challenge". As we get older, sometimes the challenges are as
important to us as the time we have left to engage them.
Just my thought on the topic.

Richmond, is your time so non-valuable you need to put yourself

I've been there, done that. These kludges with old (older than 6
years) hardware do nothing but drive you crazy and take up
inordinate amounts of time. Always.
Example. Got the kids' old G4 Cube. Nice headless server. Runs OS
X. But the 250 gig drive I put in it will only max out at 120 gigs
because of firmware limitations. In spite of that, it's a pretty
good server. But it is on the edge of it's life, and I'm sure it
won't run OS10.5. It took a day to set up for various reasons.
Same with the old iMac from my daughter. The CD drive was out, so
installing new software was a problem, it needs now rare and
expensive RAM, needs WIFI and expanding the hard drive space had
the same problem as above. I have the parts, but it was just taking
too much time.
