Right now it's a tough decision for 10.3.9 support - personally I  
don't care for it, too much hassle.  But for something released to  
the masses, I'll do my best to support what Apple supports.  And come  
10.5, my bet is that Apple drops 10.3.9 support.  Let's hope that  
Apple does a more thorough job of providing backward compatibility  
this time.

I've also been slowly migrating Macs (~40) where I work to Tiger,  
mostly as we buy new Macs with it.  I hope I can finish by the  
Leopard release ^_^  No Python use yet, but someday maybe - if the  
GRASS GUI moves to Python.
