This is a very real problem. I am still running an early 2009 Mac Pro that is slowly beginning to resemble the 1970 Mustang Mach 1 I drove in high school. I have replaced the original graphics cards with an upgraded unit to get GPU support in Photoshop. I have installed a couple of SSD&#x27;s to get away from spinning iron. Hunted high and low to finally find a USB 3.0 card that would work. Have been thinking about a swap to move from an 8 core tray to a 12 core unit.<p>It&#x27;s really hard to justify buying a &quot;new&quot; Mac Pro that is a 4 year old design at this point. I keep hoping that Apple will announce a revamp but the days since the last release keep climbing and best guesses have the inside date at mid to late 2016 at best.<p>Since my creative applications are mostly subscription based and cross platform, software costs aren&#x27;t so much of an issue anymore....<p>I have been using the Mac since &#x27;85. I have not used Windows since XP (job required) but I still get hives when I am around an MS box. Still this may be the future.<p>Sad Mac. No happy gong.
