I don’t doubt it is. My point was that there was a time that we could no longer run software on a computer because of the limitations of the hardware. Now software companies (and Apple isn’t the only one) are introducing artificial cut-offs for software, which can be circumvented, proving it’s not because of hardware limitations. We should be able to run whatever version of software we want to run on our machines until the hardware is incapable of running it, without having to resort to ‘extra steps’. I don’t want to keep hassling your 70 year old parents every time I want to know how to upgrade my software.
It is easy now but that may not always be the case. I still think it’s a factor and could affect our ability to run hardware the length of time we would like to. That’s all I was trying to say.
