[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1094294"] Basically, no. We've had a very strange rash of new people buying PPC (G3/G4/G5) computers as their first Mac ... very unfortunate. Not that those computers are junk ... far from it ... but they lack some of the very options that made PC users want to switch in the first place! :) There used to be a dreadfully slow and generally awful program called VirtualPC that was eventually bought and killed by MS. At the time a lot of people were mad but in hindsight it was a mercy killing. Imagine the slowest PC computer you've ever seen, then replace the guts with molasses, then put the whole thing in amber. THAT slow. My advice is to sell your G5 and buy an Intel Mac. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
