    Just how many are using 12 year old computers anyway?

    My mother and a friend run on around 2006 Fujitsu-Siemens and IBM (T61) C2Ds. And I also use a T61 as media player for my (non-HD) video projector. And I have a late-2006 MacBook Pro for audio in the home studio. Air-gapped, Logic Pro 9 off DVDs, absolutely does what's needed there, and some more. Despite its age infinitely more powerful than what the Beatles ever had, and I haven't still made it big. Can't be the hardware. ;)

    I had to get 2012 15" and 2020 16" RMBPs for a customer job (thankfully I could factor their prices into my bills...). The former is actively being used for development atm, but the latter mostly sits around, because I'm either too busy or too lazy (when recovering from being too busy) to migrate all the data, and I don't like newer versions of macOS much. The 16" one has a great sound, so it's a good portable media player around the house. Absolutely shitty value for money though, in that role ;)
