My first post here stated this and got you all frothing at the mouth, remember? Regardless of who said it first, that's pretty sad, imo, that such lovely gear is useless to us. You can’t even “load” CS5 on a PPC box (I still have one), the installer will not even install the product!I know.

You see the requirements to run CS5? Where do you see it will run on a P2 let alone P3 chip? Or a PPC chip? Dito for (Lightroom)? Ditto for (C1)? WTF has the statement Funny how this never comes up in the 'Mac OS is so wonderful, Windows sucks' threads have any useful context here? The facts are, a PPC box can’t run a number of modern applications, end of story! which has squat to do with the OP’s question about what to do with his PPC Mac, then when I point out that your post is irrelevant, you go off into another tangent. You once again sabotage a post with your personal dismissal of Mac products by saying Funny how this never comes up in the 'Mac OS is so wonderful, Windows sucks' threads. I don't even know how ancient that P2 was but once it had W7 on it, there's no reason why it wont run any of the above software you say it 'ain't going to run'.WTF has that got to do with anything bud? The facts, the FACTS are, modern software, the software I listed will not run on a PPC chip nor will they run on an old Pentium chip. It's older than a P3 in case you're not aware. I loaded and ran Windows 7 on a P2 with 256 megs of ram.
