I have a PowerBook G4 with 10.5.1 (Leopard). I need to upgrade to snow leopard in order to get the new apps available on iTunes for the mac. It states that an intel processor is required! what can I do?
Is this a good question?

You can upgrade (FOR FREE) to a maximum of 10.5.8 on your machine. Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor. I have an Intel processor and looked at some the Apps offered today. There was nothing I couldn't live without. Outside of surfing the internet there's just not much I do today on my Mac that I couldn't do twenty years ago. Granted there are some games that just won't run on a Mac+. The rest is planned obsolescence to make you go buy something new that you really don't need.

Now theres the truth. I just bought a Pismo for $44 that does everything I require in a laptop. +

No chance of getting Snow Leopard to run on it. This machine is old by computing standards and there's no support for running Snow Leopard on PowerPC-based machines.

thank you. it's a bummer. I have this naive way of thinking that if i've been a faithfu mac user and now an iphone user, i should be get a "free pass" around the obsolescence. :(
