Re: Upgrading MacOS From 10.9.5 To 10.13 - MacPorts Implications

Hmm... per EveryMac.com , the 2009 MacBook Air only goes up to 10.11. This agrees with my experience; my 2009 MBP also tops out at 10.11. If the machine really only runs shell scripts, why would you bother upgrading? The newer macOS versions are quite resource-intensive, an
