Oh, there's no question, Ali: Leopard WON'T work on G3-based Macs (or at least it's not supposed to), and I hope you're right about working on G4s, because I was talking with an Mac tech a few weeks ago and he said that Leopard won't work on the eMac (which is a G4).

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

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.
