Since a few people have asked, regarding my announcement yesterday that Simon version 2.4 now requires a minimum of Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), here's the current breakdown of OS versions for Simon:

• 63% are on 10.5.2
• 30% are on 10.4.11
• 3% are on 10.3.9
• 4% are on other OS versions (10.4.x or 10.5.x)

So a few people will be affected by this change, but a relatively small number. And that's always dropping, as more people buy new machines or get around to upgrading their OS.

For people stuck on 10.3.9, I'm sorry for the inconvenience... but it had to happen eventually, and Simon 2.3.5 is a fine version.

Interestingly, Simon is a little ahead of the curve when it comes to Leopard adoption. For my other products (excluding Narrator 2, which requires Leopard), the percentage averages to about 56% on 10.5.2, 40% on 10.4.11, 3% on 10.3.9, and 1% on others. So I could drop 10.3.9 support for those too, though I won't until necessary. It'll definitely happen eventually, but not for a while.
