WHY NOT Continue to Support 10.2 and 10.3.x!!??

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

I've used this in older versions when it still supported 10.2.x and 10.3.x. ONLY 1/2 of Mac users have migrated to 10.4.x and it is a great disservice when developers stop supporting older commonly used OS X versions.

Don't fall pray to the same rude abandonment of legacy users that Apple has exhibited over the last decade plus (which coincides with the return of Stevie Greedy Jobs and the iTunes business model). With OS X for PPC a dead-end street, why would I or anyone invest in an upgrade to a buggy 10.4 anyway?

When Developers pull this exclusionary production, my and your Donations should stop!

WHY NOT Continue to Support 10.2 and 10.3.x!!?? - Isaac Huang

Hi, I'm the author of iPodDisk. My software has never supported 10.2 or 10.3; I don't know why a previous version would work on your older system - it wasn't intended.

I'd like to support older systems, but I'm an independent developer (i.e. unemployed), and iPodDisk is freeware, thus I can't afford to additional hardware (all I have is an iBook).

I understand your disappointment, and I don't want to argue with you. But giving iPodDisk such a low rating, which I've put great effort into and given to everyone free of charge, just because it doesn't support your system is hardly acceptable, and you didn't even ask in our user forum.

If I somehow get access to an older Mac, I'll add support to that system as soon as possible, because I care about people still running older systems, but not because there has been some angry user giving my software unreasonable rating without bothering asking why.

As to the donations, I can't let you know the exact amount I've received, but the fact is, I'll starve if I live on it.

And if you've ever donated to me, please let me know your name and I'll try to give you a refund.

Because not everyone has an old Mac sitting around to test their software on. These are the realities of software development, and this is a free product. Your problem seems to be more with Apple and Jobs rather than the developer of this software. Go complain to them.
