I too have reasons for keeping my iMac on OSX 10.6.8. I keep on coming across other such people. I'm nursing a grudge against Apple over withdrawing support for this capable operating system.
But I've been running j64-803 (extensively, but only jqt) under OSX 10.6.8. No apparent problems. But the last j64-804 beta I tried did not run. I posted something about this earlier this year, and tried to get it working by supplying absent dylibs which turn up in the error messages in Console. I gave up when Bill assured me this would not work (as he has done again on this thread). @Patrick - Why j64-803 jqt works for me and not you I daren't conjecture. I suggest keep trying.
