The one I have is a macbook air with a broken, but usable screen 
(I got it for free yay). I don't know how old it is, I *think* it 
is a 2013 model. I know it won't take the new OS update from 
Apple, but it was able to run dmd on it last time I tried (which 
was like 9 months ago lol).

As long as dmd runs, it is potentially useful to me, just while I 
know XLib and Win32 already, I know basically nothing about obj-c 
and cocoa, and I'm not terribly motivated since I can't stand Mac 
OS as an end user either, so I don't see myself ever actually 
using this stuff.

Still, it is a feature request from time to time, and I imagine 
basic 2d drawing and input events aren't likely to change *that* 
much, so if I can get it working on this old computer I figure 
the library will probably also work on newer ones - or at least 
it will be easy for a OSX developer to send me a bugfix PR.
