I've been thinking of buying a used PowerBook G4, just to have if I need to do writing on the road, but I would want to be able to transfer files between it and my intel mac running Lion. Is that still completely compatible? I assume it is.
Got a tip for us?

Compatible with PowerPC macs?

No way. Lion is intel only and won't even run PPC apps in Rosetta.
Oops, you said files. Documents, music will transfer. Nothing system related is compatible.
Well, I'd be running a PPC version of pages on the powerbook... so would that open in a newer version of pages on the intel mac?
Yes, files are files. As long as the program runs on Lion it should open even if that program runs on an older system.
