Hi, Kevin:  Excellent question.  Here's why:

The "free" version of digidesign's app for recording and editing recordings 
is available for the old models.  

Schools tend to have old models.  

Third world countries tend to have old models.

Poor communities tend to have old models.

Donors tend to donate old models.

Matthew was kind enough to research what the lowest cost entry would be for a 
community or group that might have access to an old Mac, rather than an old 
PC, and put that sucker up on the web page.  We are in business, my friend.

The PC version will be really exciting when we get there.  But, for those who 
have access to old Macs, this gets them up and running.   Nice, eh?
Thanks,
