Bill:

Regarding backwards compatibility you can't always assume that given the 
unique hardware and operating system of the Macintosh universe.  You 
could assume some similarity across Linux versions, but even that is not 
a good generality to rely upon either.  Speaking only for myself, I can 
agree that one cannot and perhaps should not keep up with the "latest 
and greatest" if the costs don't warrant it.  However, it is also more 
expensive to ignore or overlook the engineering details and limits 
designed into the hardware or software. 

If costs do matter, then deeper study and examination of the details 
into the hardware and software design will eventually not only save 
money but something even more precious than money -- time!  Your own and 
certainly the time for whomever uses the system you eventually repair.  
Even if only as a consideration, time always matters.
