I used KIT because of the ability to port my library between computers on an ipod. Unfortunately with the poor decision to move to a leopard only OS I will have to find another solution. I do not intend to upgrade in the near future and even I I did some machines I work on will not be upgraded. Well KIT, it was nice while it lasted. -Arthur I’m sorry I will have to move to another PIM. I used KIT because of the ability to port my library between computers on an ipod.

With Together I had to start from scratch. This will be the platform for the app for the next few years. KIT was, for some time, hampered by its backwards compatibility with Panther. Leopard contains a number of technologies that make Together possible in its current form and these are integral to the app, not things that can be made optional (e.g. Quick Look previews, FSEvents for detecting file changes). Even the Objective-C programming language has been updated on Leopard, so it's not like I can just rip out parts and create a Tiger variant. I took this decision when I started back in February. Of course, Leopard was meant to be released four months earlier than it actually was. Based on Omni's stats ( http://update.omnigroup.com/ ) around 90% of people upgraded to Tiger within the first six months of its release and I expect Leopard will be a similar story. -Steve I’m sorry, but there’s no chance of me backporting Together to Tiger.

I bought KIT many months ago, and even though the lack of that feature bothered me to no end, I stuck with KIT because it really is the best PIM for the Mac, imho. Have to say I'm pretty p*ssed off now, however. Together 2.0 is only available for Leopard, and I am not planning to perform that OS upgrade any time soon. I think that it is totla BS for you to be leaving 10.4 users in the dust like this. Could you not have made some of the new features Leopard-only? ARG! Please understand that my frustration stems from the fact that I love KIT... But not so much that I'll be installing a whole new operating system for the new version. Together 2.0 does indeed look fantastic. If only I could run it on my machine I would purchase a license in an instant.

As one of your regular email moaners/suggestion makers I wanted to say thanks for listening. I will be upgrading very soon. Ace - thanks for this.
