Thanks,you gotta love Apple,how much money is enough.
Technology has always advanced leaving the old stuff outdated and unable to run the newest programs, this isn't anything new and far from being just an Apple thing.
Don't like it then buy paper charts again and update those every 6 months.
If I want to upgrade every year or two, fine. But I shouldn't be forced to.

This is not caused by technology. It's a conscious decision by computer biz companies.

As much as I despise Apple, it's not very unreasonable to ask you to upgrade a 4 year old device.

I'm guessing you'd be fat and happy with a Pentium 486 running Windows 95 then.
Or dial-up.
Technology improves, that's what it does, Moore's law and such. It's not some sinister plan by the tech companies to screw you out of money.

Sorry not going to bite. I was happy with those things. And did almost as much in actual work with those as with modern components.
I've seen quad-core i7 processors and faster, brought to their knees by today's crap code. If code were as tight as it was when I started in computers, these machines would scream. The reality is, most folks code is junk, and the compiler does it's best to make it better. When you need 2 GB of RAM just to keep the OS from swapping, that's junk code.
Java is particularly heinous, and yet incredibly popular. Especially server-side. It makes the coder's life easier. If it doesn't run well the answer is always to buy newer hardware. Good coders require lots of time to optimize things and that time is better spent elsewhere.
It's not a conspiracy at all. But it is a decision flatly made by everyone in the IT biz. Hardware is cheap because everyone needs newer hardware to keep up with sloppy code, which can run better with faster hardware. It's an infinite feedback loop.
The only thing that keeps that loop going is that people accept it. They also don't bother benchmarking or measuring for comparison.
