No... I'm confused a little. The article talks about more recent or less
recent but makes no mention of G3 or G4. As my G3 iBook is running 10.3.9,
would that then run on a G4 if it was of an age that it would have been
installed with Panther 10.3.9 when it was new?

The article talks of locating a 'build number' in 'about this Mac' but I
could find no such details in either the iBook or eMac.

I bought the iBook about 6 months ago, but judge it to be several years old,
but have no way of telling.
