Ha yes, 2008 Mac Pro here. Would be perfectly usable if it wasn't deprecated.

- daniel-cussen 4y agoThat violates the right of first sale, if they don't want to keep upgrading the OS they gotta let the users fork it. So right of first sale means if I buy an eg book, I have the right to sell it used. If I buy a computer, I have the right to sell it used. So it should not become a brick right when I'm selling it.
- uberduper 4y agoThey deprecated the 2006 WAY too soon. They blamed it on the 32bit EFI (same reason they didn't support gpu upgrades 2 years after release). It was pretty easy for a handful of major OSX releases to replace one or two files and boot it like normal. Everything worked fine. Was able to upgrade the gpu in a round about way as well. At one point I re-wired the sata bays to connect back to an areca raid controller. Then there was ssd and that kind of changed everything for "old computers." I'd have it running linux today, possibly as my work machine, if it wasn't so loud and power hungry.
