What can PowerPC NOT Do?

Most people thinking about buying PowerPC Macs know that they are not going to be perfect at everything. But they usually don't know exactly what there not great at. SO having used a PPC Mac for a while now heres some things that they suck at, that if you need in a computer I would reccommend trying to find another option.

Flash

There are work arounds somethings like Youtube, but for the most part PowerPC Sucks at doing anything related to Flash, unless your on a Quad G5 your gonna have a bad time.

Java

The little java things it does fine, but for something big, like say runescape or minecraft , your gonna have a bad time.

Games

By this I mean availablity and varity of games. Most Macs play the games that work on them Amazingly. Its just that your not going to find many for them.

New Applications

Newer Apps probably won't work. That thing that your really need? Doubt it. BUT there are useually older versions of the app you need that do work with PPC though you might lose some features. If you really really REALLY need "Insert App Name Here" Make sure it is compatiable with PowerPC

PowerPC Mail Client Options

PowerPC Mail Client

On PowerPC you have a choice of Web Browsers ( My personal Favorite <Fastest>) with different people using different web browsers AND the browsers loading different things faster, some load mail clients fast, but some don't and some people use multiple mail accounts which mail clients are for. SO here are some options for mail clients on your PowerPC Mac. (In order for Best to Worst In my opinion)

Apple Mail

[2]

It should be on your Mac but if not download links above, there's much to say besides its fast - being a native app there's not many errors with it. 

Thunderbird

Leopard Download

Tiger Download

Thunderbird is the best option if your working on many different computers with many different operating systems because it is universal and will work on all of them WHICH is good.

TenFourBird

Sister/Brother Program to TenFourFox which is basically Thunderbird optimized for PowerPC .

If you have a mail client that works good for you on your PowerPC then leave it in the comments ^_^
