I tried to install keynote a year or so ago and was unable because my pismo does not have enough video ram. I assume the same will be true of the new keynote (and the Sys req. online says one needs 8M of video ram), but I am curious about pages. Does anyone out there have it and have an older g3 without the 'necessary' 8 Mb? If so, could you try just copying the pages application over and running it? Thanks,
Adam

You need a DVD player to install Pages and even if you could manage it, it would would be slooooooow and probably crash alot.

I have a dvd player, and everything I do is slow (I have a pismo 499 which feels much faster than the pantherized imac 300s at work!)
Does it crash a lot?
Will it allow itself to be run?

I don't know. I would think it would be crashy.

I don't see why an application should crash more on slow machines than on faster ones.

The Pismo series does have 8MB of video ram. I even installed Unreal Tournament 2003 on a Pismo 400 once, just to see what it would do. It started and you could play a game, though it was like watching a slideshow.

I have a Pismo 500, and I have run both Keynote, and now Keynote 2 and Pages without issue. They run fine, the only problem you'll run into is that some of the advanced transitions in Keynote will be unavailable. They'll let you set a frame as one of these transitions, but you'll have to move the file over to a better machine to actually see it work.
