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 ...
Looks like there's sadly no reprieve in sight, but I have a question that matters to me a lot: I don't use my iBook that much anymore, but I've stored all my important files I DO use on it in Dropbox and ONLY in Dropbox. And my understanding is that - for the moment - my Dropbox files are: a) locally stored on that machine, b) also stored in Dropbox's cloud and c) also stored on my local drives on my other Dropbox machines.
So... ....my understanding (I THINK) is that all those files - wherever they were first stored from - will still be on and available to my newer Mac and my Vista PC after May 18th..
...but my question is this:
Will my Dropbox folder and all those files just disappear from my iBook....??? Or will they still all be there in a non-web connected folder called "Dropbox" that just won't sync any longer...?? Or....???
So do I have to copy all those files elsewhere on the iBook to avoid losing access to them altogether (as opposed to their just no longer being synced)?? (The hard drive is way full, so if so, I need to get to some HDD management and triage pronto.)
