I used to own a 2009 MacBook Pro, 13-inch. The Mac User Group bought it from me to use with their lending libray which is now being shut down. The Mac will be offered for sale for $400 with 10.6 & 10.11 on separate partitions of the 320 GB HD (non-standard 7200 rpm).
Since the sudden demise of the 2011 MBP I have a suitable 256 GB SSD available. Tempted to put in a bid but there's complications.
I'll be the one setting up the Mac for sale.
@kdfrawg I'm having my own Mac frustration but it's quite minor. Waiting for funds from a cheque issued by one bank to clear at another. Once that's done I'll load up the credit card and buy a 4k 21.5-in iMac.

Crazy pricing. Take the Mac Mini. Upgrade the 2.6 GHz one to 3 GHz/16 GB RAM & 1 TB Fusion drive and it's $30 more expensive than applying the same upgrades to the 2.8 GHz model. There's no other differences.
I checked at the local Apple Store to see if they had any higher-spec iMacs out the back. There were some, but while they had faster processors & the same Fusion drive as my desired machine, they only had 8 GB of RAM. No good, must have at least 16 for me.
So today I used the new ladder to remove grass, soil & worms (damn fine soil, to have worms) from the roof guttering. I've cut three fingers in the process, only one enough to require a dressing.
Bought a clever multi-purpose ladder today. The stiles on both sides of the hinge at the top are telescopic, meaning it can go up to 2.7 m as a step ladder & 4.5 m as an extension job. Each side can adjust separately.
I just don't get it. Yesterday my knee was OK, or at least usable without stiffness or major pain. Today, a different story. It's sore & stiff so I'm using my anti-gout anti-inflammatory meds. Usually works.
I know it's odd. I need a cane to walk because of the arthritis in my left knee. Yet a I can use the clutch pedal in a car with a manual transmission.
