It's update time again. This time, the Macs got some love.
Recently the wife got the new 13" MBP, and it's running ML. The kid will be getting a MBP soon, but in the meantime is using the ancient mini until we get around to selling that spare kidney….
The mini was on SL. I had done the memory upgrade a while back, tossing in 4GB ram for the sad 1GB it had. That made it usable, but still damn slow. Dug out an old 160GB 7200rpm drive from a laptop upgrade, swapped out the 80gb 500rpm dog of a drive, and got Lion on it. Lion is as high as it will go without making it a hacintosh, and frankly its not gonna happen. Was able to update the linux server to work as a timemachine target again, which I was meaning to do sooner or later. Bottom line, this old mac mini is hanging in there pretty good. Now, if only I could get my netbook hackintosh to 10.6.8 – or god help me, Lion. On an Atom. With 2GB ram. No… must stop…
