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 ...

@Maynard: Your files should still remain on your iBook after May 18, it just won't sync anymore. It should be just like if you quit the Dropbox application from the menu - try it now if you like, you can always double-click on Dropbox in your applications folder to run Dropbox again. You should see that your Dropbox folder and all your files are still on your iBook.

It's a shame that 10.4 support is fading, but it seems the revenue from paying PowerPC users just isn't enough to fund the additional development requirements to backport patches to PowerPC.
