To be pedantic, OS 10.5 and 10.6 are both Intel systems, correct?
But to continue in the same vein, OS 10.5 carries PPC code with it, while OS 
10.6 doesn't, correct?

'Twar me. It just slipped out, it did... I was going back to an OS that I knew 
was NOT Intel, and DID have PPC code. I sort of temporarily forgot that 
carried over to the 5.0 OS.

Ooops!
