Earlier today I was trying to upgrade a piece of software on my somewhat ageing iMac at work. During the upgrade a message along the lines of “your version of OSX is no longer supported” flashed past.

I am not overly eager to run whatever is the latest version of OSX because with every upgrade there is the risk that I will lose a couple of days of productivity. And with every release it seems Apple makes life harder for software vendors. Things tend to stop working and the solutions to those things tend to be that I have to spend money on something I rather wouldn’t spend money on.
