Site suggestion - List PPC OS X version on download page
I hate to admit in my haste I wasted the time and download bandwidth to download the "intel" version. Then came back and was distraught to see that there wasn't one listed. I guessed someone would've attempted a compile for PPC, so I persisted. I suspect alot of others might not...and that is confirmed with posts on other mac sites.
If you list them both next to each other you won't see people turning away in droves thinking it's not available...or downloading the wrong one, or worst of all, thinking OOO isn't for them and giving up...especially now when the OO suite is getting news attention for the 3 beta.
While Intel chips are 100% of the existing sales, note that they are still a minority in the total functioning community.
Thanks
