    I've had good experiences with Newer. Good support, dependable product. A
    bit slow releasing fixes when Mac OS upgrades, but they don't release them
    until they really work. A worry here is Apple is saying X won't run on 3rd
    party processor upgrades. I'd look for promises that it at least runs
    PublicBeta if you think you'd ever want to upgrade the 9600 to X.
