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 ...

Why is it not possible for us to continue using the app on 10.4 as it is? The glib instructions on how to upgrade your system feel like an extra kick when you know full well that your Mac can't go above 10.4.
I and many other users need to have a Mac running on 10.4 for several good reasons (e.g. thousands of FreeHand files which need to be accessed) - a higher system can't run some vital software that is still required to run my business. Even if we could afford £3000+ to upgrade the hardware, the software we need to use won't work on the new system, so there would be no point.
As I pay for this service and now won't be able to use it on the majority of my machines, will I get a discount?
I am perfectly prepared to keep using the old app without support - but I would have liked to have been given the choice. Will the app just stop working?

"I'm sorry, but your situation is of your own making."
You obviously completely misunderstand my business, reasons for having to use a particular hardware / software combo and insult the intelligence of me and a great many others, so no point in really arguing.
