Don't worry, Mac OS X(10.5) Leopard officialy supports G4 & G5
PowerPC Macs. Only G3 support is in question.

Thank you, Norberto: That's exactly my point -- recently, Apple has
really blown it in both customer service and hardware support when
in the past they had been much better (and I base this on being an
Apple user for 15 years). And now Leopard only works on Intel-based
Macs? That sure gets a WTF, no? Especially if you bought a non-
Intel Mac in the last, oh, year or so.
Customer service and hardware quality are apples and oranges. It's
a pity that the former isn't on par with the latter.
Which, again, gets back to the point of what OS one should be
running on pre-Intel Mac hardware, and I would like to think that
there is a market for long-time Mac users who do not pitch their
hardware for the flavor of the month running GNU/Linux instead of
being stuck on, say Mac OS 10.3. I vote with my OS, and on one
machine -- a G3 tower upgraded with a Sonnet G4 -- I'm running
Yellow Dog.

Larry,
I know three people who Apple has left in the lurch with their
terrible customer support specifically when it comes to their switch
to Intel based chips. All you have to do to verify this is go to any
Apple store in your area on a Saturday and wait for a disgruntled
person to start walking out. Politely ask them what happened.
You'll get the picture.
