Out in the Snow

I am guilty of hanging on to my early 2008 white MacBook (which I love). It’s had quite a few repairs and I’ve increased the memory so it’s been running very well on Snow Leopard for ages. I also have an iPhone 5s; my husband has an iPad and we have an Apple TV.

My printer broke yesterday and, after doing extensive research, I decided on the one I want to get as a replacement. Then I suddenly realised that it won’t run on 10.6.8. I’ve put up with being unable to use iCloud and having erratic syncing with the iPhone as I wanted to stay in my safe zone – but is it past time to buy a new MacBook or a MacBook Air? And, if so, how will I cope with the many changes in the OS? Or maybe I should just look around for any printer which will run Snow Leopard?

What shall I do? Joan Fletcher
