Yes Ed, I know about obsolescece thanks. I'm well aware that Apple notoriously withdraws support and upgrades for superseded operating systems and software causing compatability issues and forcing upgrades.
That's whole different kettle of fish from what was being alluded to, which is actively negatively affecting the performance of an existing piece of hardware or software in order to make the new version more desirable.
The point being, withdrawing support and upgrades for an hitherto fully functioning set up should not cause it to immediately start performing poorly. Which is what annecdotal evidence appeared to be pointing to upthread.
