I didn't miss your point; I added to it. And... yes, it would be
prohibitively expensive for a non-profit to spend that much on a lot of 1000
machines.

You missed the point A.J. I'm talking about MONEY, not compatibility. If I
am gifting 1000 G3s - I am not buying MS Office for them. As a nonprofit I
can get MS Office for my staff at $20.00 a pop, but I sure can't afford to
put it on 1000 computers....

Think we could drop Microsoft Office on those G3s? Nah.
FWIW, Office 2004 runs like a champ on my G3 iBook 700.
I'll stress again that, for the most part, Microsoft apps written for
the Mac generally tend to be quite nice - especially when compared with
their Windows counterparts.
We'll use the free Corel Word Perfect version 3.5, Abiword,
Open Office, whatever is compatible with the OS we are placing.
Free is good. Free is especially good for first time users who
don't have a computer in the first place because they can't
afford one.
As long as the software does what you need...
cheers,
