I wish it were as simple as that. Actually, the disk I bought is 10.6,
which probably explains a lot. That's for a PowerPC Mac, isn't it?

The reason I have to ask (about the PowerPC) is that I haven't been able
to easily find technical specs at the Apple support site in some time.
When I'm looking, I usually can't find them; when I'm not looking, I
sometimes stumble across them.
