Best I could find these days was $160 + $5.45 shipping from Megamacs:

Everybody else seemed to be pushing over $200.

I have a powermac g4 tower that I wanted to upgrade to osx 10.5 since that was as high as
I could go on non-intel hardware. I wanted to be legitimate and not just
"share" a copy from another machine. This turned out to be non-trivial as Apple
moved all references and sales to 10.6 (at the time) and all the usual web sites selling
old software were apparently aware of this, jacking up the price to hundreds of dollars.
I finally ended up buying one from eBay for a more sane price that was still north of
$100. So just be prepared. Folks who have stocks of 10.5 in the shrink-wrap know the
non-intel Mac users have nowhere else to go and will price accordingly. That cheap ppc
Mac might not be such a deal if you want it somewhat current legally.

Hello! I still have my PPC iMac G5 and it is running Leopard 10.5.8
just fine... Do *NOT* go with Tiger 10.4.x... The improvements in
Leopard's VoiceOver alone make it worthwhile.

It won't run anything higher than a certain version of leopard because
it is pre-intel. It was kind of a freebie and I'm ok as long as it
will be somewhat useable.

has some voiceover improvements, even still, this operating system is 2 versions behind
the current one, I would say that it's not practical to go this root.

My husband brought home a first generation G5 iMac. At least as far as
VoiceOver, which would be better. I have had no experience with Mac

We need to upgrade the ram because it only has 512. I want to replace
the windows desktop computer with this one because it is inaccessible
without speech. Thanks so much for all the help.
