I had a few power PCS back when I was married - my ex wife was a graphic 
designer weaned on MACs and Quark.

I used one as a daily drive for a year or so. Mac OS-X Tiger I think

Then I moved to linux and never looked back. Terrible machines.

They were essentially computers for people who knew nothing about 
computers, and absolutely didn't want to know.

Even more than Windows there was One True Way™ to use them, and heaven 
forfend if you stepped off the One True Path ...
