![]() Add in another $150 or so for that, and who knows what OS version that software needs to run on. One more thing - After 8 years your screen colors have turned yellow if you are not using color calibration software and hardware. I don't think switching from 10.8 to 10.10 is that big of a change, but then again, I don't think putting money (RAM and OS X, and why not an SSD?) into an 8 year old computer to get to 10.8 in the first place is a good idea. There is value in learning image processing software that will work on all of your cameras, past present and future. What image processing software do you use now?

If you don't grab a copy of the installer when it's current, you won't get the chance to do so later. Mavericks and beyond have been free to Mac owners – but Apple has only distributed them electronically, or installed on Macs. You need at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to access the Mac App Store, so I'm pretty sure that providing a bridge from Leopard to Lion/Mountain Lion is a reason why that DVD is still around.
