Ron, if he's switching to a G5, Appleworks doesn't come on it. It only came on the consumer Macs (iBook and iMac). So, unless he already has it, that's not an option unless he wants to pick up a copy on the swap list or ebay (gasp!). I don't think Apple sells it anymore as they replaced it with iWork.
