[FX.php List] Leopard, FMP 9, and FMP 8.5

[Bob Patin]

G'day Michael!

Hope you're doing well...

I'm going to try Leopard tomorrow... I have a new MacBook Pro that is  
just drooling over Leopard... so if it doesn't behave I can always go  
to my PowerBook...

But my servers won't get Leopard for months at least.

I wonder... when FMI said they wouldn't update previous software for  
Leopard, I assume that also means they won't patch FMSA 8.0v4. Pity...
