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 ...
Thanks for that Kohan I.
Many of my key docs for the last 11 years are there, so a matter of some real concern. And luckily, unlike some here, I use that machine less and less anymore, so I can get by with a USB stick and sneakernet. Still gonna make a copy though, just in case.
It's also not just DropBox doing these smh moves on users.
I have some elaborate presentations I created in Keynote '08 which are still very relevant to my work - and when I got my new MacBook Air, the new Keynote told me they were too old to open. That's files from Apple's own young suite! Meanwhile, while I like Keynote a lot more than Power Point, Office will open MS formats from the stone age.
(The workaround is to install a copy of iWork '09 - which I found [supposedly new] on Amazon - I hope it installs and activates - and upconvert to that format, and then maybe use the Current Keynote to convert a second time to the latest.)
Not gonna lose any fonts or transitions in that move, I'm sure. /s.
Anyway, my empathy for those of you whose workflow's gonna be severely disrupted.
