AW: AW: AW: Support for Mac OSX 10.5

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Richard,

it is a standard MacBook (not pro) with a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo from
beginning 2007 which was at least over here pretty popular for standard
users.

The search for updates doesn't offers me any updates anymore and a manual
try to install 10.6 is refused by the installer because of "hardware
incompatibility" (I have no idea which piece of hardware is invompatible).

> Having the current version of LC remain available, as older versions are
right now, would allow those who need to continue deploying to OS X 10.5 to
do so.

Yes, thats what I have to do, because I can't afford to develop and
distribute in two versions. But my kickstarter investment is gone and I have
to pay 500 bucks every year just that runrev doesn't shut off my old
license.
