My 2009 MacPro won’t die. It is old fashioned thinking to want to keep a machine til it breaks. Maybe need to rethink this. Upgrading it to Sierra will strain its creaky joints so maybe it’s time.

My 2008 (3,1) Mac Pro runs Sierra just fine! Although I did add an SSD and 16 gigs of RAM. "GeekBench" of 12,500 or so, similar to some 2017 Win 10 boxes with an i7 (Intel Core i7-4960HQ). Best $800.00 I ever spent! (Got it "used" 2 years ago from a navy sailor/Hornet mechanic, got a discount because it had a dent in the upper aluminum handle).

Nice! I’m kinda tired of the heavy frame of Pro 09 and will probably buy on sale an Air that’s a year old.
