You do understand a G5 iMac was based on a PowerPC CPU and nothing on it will run on an Intel based machine?

JFTR: Although no PowerPC applications will run natively on his retina Mac, most PPC apps will run on an Intel based machine that is running Snow Leopard (or that has Snow Leopard running in virtualization, such as in Parallels).
