Making an old Mac useful with Catalina Patcher

I was rather upset when my venerable old Macbook Pro fell off the end of Apple’s support. But today I’m happy again, thanks to Catalina Patcher. It integrates the update and patching process to get even my 2008 vintage MacBook Pro back in the game. There's even a video you can follow as you prepare a bootable system disk and then use this to re-image your machine.

The process can take a while and I think it works best if you create an empty machine but it works a treat. It’s rather pleasing to find a 12 year old machine is still able to be useful.

If you’ve got an old Apple lying around it is well worth a look.
