Congratulation!
such success story is hardly surprising to me
debian has lots of such story
if i meet problem, usually i can get help from this list
sometimes i can't solve it even after seeking help
but debian is still best in my experience

 Hello,
I'm sure you are, more used to getting bad news posts, when people have 
trouble.   And my situation began that way.  I'm the one with the recent 
Chicken and Egg Issue, helping a friend install Debian 9.4 on an expired 
MacBook, which Apple states can't run anything later than OSX Lion.  The 
Broadcom B43 issue temporarily prevented me from having this Friend's Macbook 
connect to the Internet.  The Debian 9.4 CD1 Installed well (after I got past 
EFI issues, with the help of refind), but I couldn't connect to the Internet, 
due to the Wifi issue.  
Many Thanks to Abdullah Ramazankgoglu, Rick Thomas, David Christensen, Dan 
Ritter, Tomas, Brian and Eike for your help.  The Firmware installed correctly, 
and I have a happy friend, with a "Rehabilitated MacBook.
Isn't this what this is all about?  I now have a happy Debian user, who was 
previously a marginalized Mac user, down on his luck, and unable to afford the 
expensive new Macs!
Now, he is up to date, and able to use Firefox, LibreOffice, and other Debian 
Packages, while also able to Dual Boot, back to OSX Lion, when he needs to.  
How's that for Volunteer work?
Thank you and best regards,
Kenneth Parker
