Not your fault.

It's the hardware that they are shutting out. When they changed the architecture from Powermac to intel they just crapped all over anybody with an older machine.

Like you, I acquired my macs second hand, I could never have afforded what I have when they were brand new. I do know if I had spent around $3500 for this tower I have in '06 with all its bells and whistles only to be told it was being tossed aside as far as software development goes, I'd be royally pissed.
