CPW,
Version 10.6 has been the minimum required OS version for a long while. This has been coming as well as other software retirements. The old classic Phoenix Viewer as well will sail into the sunset very soon as it uses features no longer supported or new features not in the base code version.. In fact, many features are broken already. I stopped accessing SL from my Mac mini ages ago once the 10.6 OS became the requirement as my MM doesn't support that version. Progress continues.
On a side note - Microsoft OS users have been lucky as OS upgrades do not tend to abandon a whole class of processors with each release. But the memory requirements tend to always go up - LOL
To other casual readers - SecondLife is one of the most resource intensive virtual systems in the entire world. Why? Because the World is not known ahead of time. Each and every region you step into needs to be fed to your PC's Graphics System to be locally rendered for you. Add to that the fact that each avatar can own a infinite number of items that affect their presentation to your "virtual eyes!" You get the idea?
