Given that I don't have access to a ppc machine, sounds like I can't test if it works.

Given that it's obviously a leopard only application, I'm not sure if I should claim support for ppc and have a user complain if it doesn't work, or drop the claim of ppc support and make it intel only.

As a (quad core) G5 user who will not be cross-grading to Intel any time soon, please don't deliberately remove PPC support just because you haven't been able to test it...unless of course not being able to test it may result in some hideous data loss should a PPC user find a bug!


You have a few options.
1) As Clark already said, you could buy a cheap second hand PPC machine.
2) Ask other people to test the app before you release it
3) Make use of the ADC compatibility labs to test it for yourself
