bye bye power pc

More then 3 years passed since apple moved on intel cpu's, time to say bye bye power pc.
I cant spend days for support platform, which now officially not supported even by vendor.
Guys who still on power pc, i can understand many issues, but it too much worthless time for me.
From now i'm going to build viewers for intel platform only.

Personally, i have now only intel with 10.5 and 10.6 installed, thats my build and test environment,
i can't test ppc anymore, also i can't test how binaries running on 10.4 either.

ooh, I am glad Santa brought me a new intel Mac! Can't blame you since Apple didn't even bring out 10.6 for the power pc.

Santa won't be bringing me one. I'll miss the PPC updates, but I totally understand your position.

Have a nice Holiday! Safe one too.

Totally understand that, Hyang.
The Mac users are thankful for your work. (cozy)

i will build universal for next release, but it hard to support platform which i'm not running.

Glad I upgraded from my old mini-mac to the new one when I did.

O god, I need to upgrade soon. I haven't used the Linden builds in over a year and a half. I dread going back to LL builds. Thanks for supporting for as long as you have.

Arrrrrgggghhhhhhhh, I CANNOT UPGRADE, no money, I REALLY need that patch for SL viewer v1.19.1.4! please put it back up or please put it on MegaUpload and send me the link to download it?

Disclaimer about all viewer builds

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL AND UNSUPPORTED BUILD!

THIS RELEASE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH LINDEN LAB IN ANY
WAY BUT PATCHED BY A THIRD PARTY. 

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

IF SOMETHING GOES BADLY WRONG, RESTORE FROM YOUR BACKUPS, OR JUST USE THE OFFICIAL BUILD IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY.

ALSO IF YOU DO NOT FIND THE AUTHOR TRUSTWORTHY AND IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS PROGRAM COULD CONTAIN INTENTIONALLY MALICIOUS CODE, PLEASE ALSO DO NOT USE IT.

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
