Use mine daily. Pretty much anything I need to do I can do except a little bit slower. Really like the concept of using less powerful computers even if it takes longer :) Just moved so now I'm just using my PowerBook 12 inch have to get everything else out of my closet.:eek:

I still use my PowerPCs on a daily basis. My trusty G5 sits at my main desk along side my much more powerful PC, but nevertheless, I still use the G5 for web browsing and checking my group chat using a TenFourFoxBox of Slack (which works just as good as the real app). I still use my PowerBooks as my usual toss-in-a-bag and go Mac laptop. Back in early 2015 when I first got into PPC, I used my iBook G4 1.33 as my daily school laptop, but that was before I knew about Erik's tweaks. Also at the same time, my crappy HP was somewhere in New Mexico being repaired, so I was using my G5 daily. I had 0 problems with using the G5 and likely still wouldn't have any problems today. The iBook struggled with internet back then and still does today, however, the tweaks did help. My 1.5GHz PowerBook G4 12in works better since it has a higher clock, but the graphics are really weak. I likely could still use solely PowerPC with ease
 
I'm surprised no one brought this up yet - sync newer Apple devices. Anything newer than iOS 6 will not work with the PPC version of iTunes. The only solution is to get iCloud working using either SOHO Organizer (that's what it was, right?) or foxboxes.

For me, I don't have the need to sync newer iDevices, being that I have 200GB storage in iCloud, so I have my devices backup to that. I manage all my music on my devices themselves. For older devices, like my 4th Gen iPod Touches, iPod Nanos, and my 2nd Gen iPod, I could sync them with any PPC running Leopard with ease.
