Topic: Challenges of the more recently obsolete. A bunch of older computers can almost interact with the modern environments, but not quite. For example eMates, old iMacs, etc. have wireless capabilities but require network protocols that are increasingly unsupported. What kinds of things have you tried to work with these more recently obsolete computers, what has worked, what hasn’t?
