Can't decide: Upgrade ancient iMac?


my imac ten years old. not sure exactly. runs os x 10.6.8. think maybe have installed 10.7, didn't, , nothing later install on it. latest itunes version run on 11.4. when 2 or 3 years old ethernet died, got dongle few bucks plugs usb slot , connects ethernet, no problems, works fine.

computer works fine. no problems @ all.

problem older gets less it's compatible anything. new ipad pro not connect because itunes version old, , computer not accept later version. chrome bit flaky, apparently because old hardware not fast enough, can live it. lot of features of newer os x versions don't exist on it, none of terribly important me.

use imac email, surfing web, keeping journal, calendar, arranging travel, photos, , internet chat boards. fine, said, it's not compatible newer devices.

can afford new imac. that's not issue. hate waste, , seems waste trash computer still works 100% because software no longer compatible else. obviously, nobody can make decision me, i'd interested in anyone's thoughts.
 

my thoughts technology, don't want waste computer aren't replacing obsolete 1 no longer works require.

if want feel getting new 1 donate charity i'm sure it'd great or organisation or family these old computers can great younger kids learn on.

in short if meet needs keep , soldier on, if want new software , ipad compatability (and increased security) buy new 1 , donate 1 worthy cause.

Sean Penn, "Chapo Guzman", and Rolling Stone

if you've spare twenty minutes or (and inclination) take @ sean penn's rambling account of meeting (then) fugitive mexican drug lord "chapo" guzman. its interesting on number of levels. not quality of sean penn's journalistic work. first observation had there remarkably little actual interviewing going on. penn's limited spanish ("hola" , "adios") played part. guzman made number of statements, claiming turned narcotics because there no other means of earning living. beyond that, nothing groundbreaking. sean penn himself of polarizing figure. guy rose fame jeff spicoli fancies himself of outlaw journalist, without writing chops of hunter s. thompson. prose of intelligent man; stylist ambitions out of reach of abilities. uses word "brume" describe aftereffects of bout of flatulence. pretentious word (i presume) not technically accurate. mentions twice expensive wristwatches sported guzman's sons -
