I need to ask "Why is this so"? I too have a PPC Mac and have had to locate the ooopackages, which are not easy to find (at OpenOffice.org main web pages). Has OOo decided not to support PPC Mac at all? If so, I think that this lack of support is "untimely". Apple still supports the PPC Macs for the meantime and I think that OOo should do the same at least as long as support for this architecture is still coming from Apple. I currently run OOo 3.0.1 (RC2) for PPC and I can say that it runs very well indeed on this Mac. > However, you can get it here (scroll down the list below the Intel > versions to find the PPC versions): > http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc4/ > > Note: RC4 is the same as the final release version. > Note: The US English version does not have _en-US in the filename.
