Looking for coming Leopard support... - Version: 4.0, 10/17/2007 01:32PM PST

It looks like a fantastic program. I haven't needed to use it, but I've heard (and read a lot) about it. I'm hoping for some support for the upcoming Leopard OS, as this will be the first time that I've needed anything like this program. I have a G4 iMac, 800 MHz and it will fall just under the wire. Let me know if Leopard is going to be supported. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

I've been running OS 10.3.9 for about a year now on my 8600 (288mb ram) thanks to this application and a Sonnet G3/400 upgrade. It's a duel boot system with OS9 on one partition and OSX on the other. Saved me big $$$!!!

Thanks!

Only just now did I notice a skip.....

Who would have thought I could install 10.4 on my wallstreet. this just blow my mind. Most of all, the 300mhz lappy is as or more zippy than in 10.2.8. What the hell!?

Only one little processor lag through the audio so far....
