End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5

Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...

dropbox not working on my computer anymore and I have no possibity for an update to a newer system. Big, big problem. Dropbox should bring back its services to customers with older computers / systems (eg. OS 10.5.8).
Dropbox wants to be a smart digital service, I think. There must be smart solution for this problem?

@Robert. I have a Mac Mini with 10.5.8. Bought it together with a PC back in 2008. The latter is still working fine with all the old programs and drivers needed to control other hardware (plotter etc). Apple however.. just simply bluntly say to your face: 'move on'? I work with Apple, have purchased 4 or 5 laptops, have iPhones, iPads, Cinema displays, etc.. but the way they treat loyal customer is arrogant. Although I am depending on their hardware professionally... I won't shed a tear when one day they collapse.
