Back in the time-frame of the Leopard to Snow Leopard transition, I visited an Apple Store (for the last time), where upon I informed a 'genius' that on Windows, I had code that I needed to (or was required to) run everyday that was older than him, and that Apple's complete disregard for backward compatibility lost me (and everyone I know) as a customer for ever.

The image of you entering a likely-crowded Apple store and berating a random retail store employee because OS X doesn't support decades old software is pretty hilarious.
Good job for getting upset a retail clerk making not much more than minimum wage for CEO-level decisions?
And were you seriously running binaries from 1987 (+/-) because you might as well stuff that thing in a dosbox.
Progress is hard.
And not a single thing of value was lost.
