   As I said - if the CD was printed before that PowerMac was released, it   
   won't work. If the CD was AFTER the PowerMac was released, it usually   
   will.   
      
   So, for your statement to have any meaning, you have to state WHICH   
   PowerMacs they don't work with and which G3/iMac they came with.
