End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5

Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...

There is still a lot of productive work being done on PowerPC Mac computers. These computers cannot upgrade past Mac OS X 10.5.x because that is the last revision that supports the PowerPC processor. While I can understand why you don't want to include support for these old computers in new versions of Dropbox, please do not turn off the old apps. Let them run in a sort of legacy mode. Syncing files and offering links.

My desktop is intel, but for reasons I won't bore you with, Im still running Leopard on it. DropBox was a vital link between that and my laptop, mobile, etc. Please reconsider chopping us off - it creates great hardship!!

I take it back: not great hardship, just a pain in the butt - and bad feelings. Ill get over it.
