Driftway near Dutcher
QR Code Link to This Post
Limited by Apple's obsolescence to Big Sur operating system, so instead I have it happily running linux mint. Please note - this means this computer is not currently running Apple’s operating system.
The optical dvd drive works, you can watch a dvd or listen to music on this, this machine can still do mostly anything you need.
