Thanks for the article!
Apple just want to churn people constantly through new hardware and software to keep the cash tills ringing.
There are workarounds...word on the street is cheesegraters won’t be able to run Catalina.

Let us know how that goes if you try it.
How about getting a used trashcan (2013) and then re-deploy the 'grater as a slave. I'm in the same boat.Well i do have to say performance on my 5,1 cheese grater improved 20% according to geekbench, under Mojave. I think the Metal card made a difference. The 5,1 still keeps up on Mojave, its entirely disappointing to me that Apple will drop it out of further OS updates. I can't see any technical reason why either.
I am sure I will get a few more years of service out of my 5,1 hot rodded cheese grater, its not an imminent problem. But I do think Apple has not really provided a path moving forward and now they have drawn a line in the sand about terminating the last decent Mac I am willing to use until further notice. I don't like any of the mini's, iMac's or MBP's. I depend on PCIe. The new Pro is priced into the stratosphere. we shall see what Apple does in the next couple years and there is time to wait and see for sure, but unless a more reasonable prosumer path is laid out, the obvious choice for myself, and probably some others, will be to reconsider PC windows again.
