I’m going to need the burn unit over here. Someone call the ECU. Ow.
I was wrong.
Not a problem, Syncopated. A lot of people hear these myths and think they are true. Part of it is that technology improves so fast that the next iteration of any tech is better than the last. That doesn't mean the old is obsolete. I tell clients if it still works, don't toss it just because it can't do "X" unless you absolutely have to have "X" to do your business. . . ala the 3D radiography for the MacBook Airs we had to replace. The old ones were working fine for everything else but just could not handle the much larger files of the 360º 3D slicing through a skull to get very fine detail needed to see what needed to be seen, so they had to be upgraded to one that could.
The beauty of Macs is they still retained quite a bit of value. We sold those seven and eight year old MacBook Airs for several hundred dollars apiece to people who did not need such an esoteric application or the power. Current retail value on them is around $400 even that old. . . but we gave the buyers a bargain.
