Well My Friend -Mcbie:
I did download from the Apple App Store, but it won't let me install,,,
OF COURSE because my machine is just under the wire--I spoke to a tech 2 tier about this and he said they wont support it even though it would work--
HEY! my machine is 5/6 years old--they arent supporting anything I have now so- its a moot point on support. I just want the MT Lion to run my apps
the rub is the things not supported I don't want or need ANYWAY.
and BTW my machine is a 64 bit machine 2.33Ghz 17" Intel Core 2 Duo--with 3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM-- at the time I purchased it it was the Bad Boy of DT replacements...
Which is why I ask the question-- of FORCE-- the graphics don matter to me and hacking my own MBP-- my business- its held together by tape anyway- it was damaged in an auto accident, and I cant work from the pain and I don't have a Mac that suits my needs-- even if it does Shut down at odd times, hum and has a dead battery, yada, yada, yada.
At any rate thank for the input guys....
