Q: Is there software available for ppc macs?
I am looking for software to run on an old laptop, a G3 Powerbook Pismo with OS 10.2.5.
I would like File Maker Pro, Mac Write, Illustrator, Iwork, or similar programs.

Hardcore Mac sells some older Apple software.
The minimum OS for iWork '05 is 10.3.6. Try AppleWorks instead. Per Hardcore Mac: AppleWorks 6 will run on "Mac OS 8.1 or later, including Mac OS X through 10.5.x Leopard (Some people have no trouble using AppleWorks with Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard while others have problems. If you are running Snow Leopard, purchase AppleWorks at your own risk.)" I do run AppleWorks 6.2.9 on Snow Leopard, OS X 10.6.8 but there are some features that don't quite work correctly. You can find the updaters for AppleWorks 6.2.9 on this page. Note that the updater for the US/North American English is the blue download button under the title. The links listed below are for the specific updaters for other languages. AppleWorks is not a universal language program & there are separate installers & updaters for each of 15 languages.
