Great news. Apple making their own platforms obsolete to make a buck. I wonder if there is any sympathy for those that bought overly expensive systems only to be left out in the cold now. This is the same old story over and over again yet people still fall for this trick.

You may not understand too much about computers, but just because Mountain Lion doesn't run on older computers, doesn't mean those older computers have now stopped working, or that Lion will stop working on them.

I know, I know, you're shocked. You thought that by dropping support for older hardware, that it meant that Zombie Steve Jobs rose from the dead and flipped a switch that made those older Macs stop working, but guess what? There is no Zombie Steve Jobs flipping such a switch. Those older Macs still run Lion, and Lion is a very solid OS that will run for years to come.

Hell, I have a friend who has a PowerPC iMac. She was left in the dust a few years ago, I think with 10.6, didn't mean that her iMac stopped working or anything.

Sort of makes the case for mac mini; get some good thunderbolt peripherals and swap out relatively less expensive CPU.

Curious, how long does Apple provide support for their OS versions?

Are their still updates for 10.4?
