PPC software to new computer?

Hello everyone,


My name is Justin. I was wondering about transferring old software from this iMac G5 iSight edition to a newer computer, maybe a Mac mini.


To be specific, the software is Adobe Creative Suite CS2 - yeah, old stuff, but we need to keep it. Is there any way to keep using the programs on a newer Intel chip processor. I know I used to have it installed on my 2007 iMac, but it never worked 100%.


Any ideas we were thinking of were:

  • Moving the programs to a newer computer
  • Using the programs on the new Mac by accessing the hard drive of the old iMac?
  • Re-installing CS2 on the new computer




Any help, suggestions, or tips are appreciated. Thanks!



-Justin
