I would agree that 2GB is too little to run Mavericks well. 4GB seems
fine, but of course more RAM is *always* better. On any laptop my rule
is "First thing, maximize the RAM."

The option to run 2008 disappeared for my wife earlier this year. She
has to have 2011 to deal with the files she gets from admin.

Every time there is a new OS X version I hear lots of complaints, and
even more so for 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9. I am always confused since
I think that, overall, OS X has been on a very steady trend upwards
since the public beta. I think 10.7 was maybe a slght step down from
10.6, and there's (to my mind) absolutely no reason to run 10.8, but
other than that...

When I use the 10.6.8 machine I am astounded anew at how clunky it is
compared to my 10.9 machines.
