I have an early MAC Mini running 10.6.8. Is this now a piece of junk? Is there any way to upgrade it so it will run the more current OS? This sounds a lot like the "Planned Obsolesence" used by the car manufacturers in the '60s.

Which MM do you have and what exactly did you expect?
How to identify Mac mini models
The 2006 models (Macmini1.1) can only go as high as 10.6.8
I have a Mac Mini 1.2 with an Intel Core Duo processor. I realize that in the current configuration, it will not accept more than OS 10.6.8. Can the MAC be upgrade to allow the newr operating systems?

Only by updating the processor;
1.66 GHz (T2300) or 1.83 GHz (T2400) Intel Core Duo
Upgradable up to an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz T7600 processor. [31]
