Mac Gurus Needed - Adobe After Effects Question

One of my computers is an old Mac Pro running 10.5

It is an older G5 PowerPC Motorola machine that came out just before they switched over to the Intel chips.

Does anyone know if there was EVER a version of After Effects that would work on this older computer?

Even CS3 claims a minimum Intel chip is required.

Was there a pre-CS3 version of After Effects?

Thanks in advance!

I got burned by that, too. Same story. Awesome PowerMac dual-core G5 loaded with RAM. Still works great - but I can't even see most web videos now, because I can't upgrade the Flash, because I can't upgrade the OS.

My new iPhone won't synch with it either, because the phone isn't compatible with the older OS.

I have a dinosaur that still works great, but is less and less compatible with the world. The reason I got the fucking thing is because I reasoned that it WAS upgradeable. And it is - with the exception of the processors. Fucking Apple.

I guess it's not entirely their fault. As I understand it, the IBM processors just weren't keeping up with the Intels. They sucked up too much power.

Now I have this 50lb dinosaur that still works well, so long as all I need it to do is run the software that's on it. I have tons of music on it that I can't easily transfer to my iPhone. I'll have to put it all on a portable hard drive, upload it to a Mac with the current OS, and then synch it to my iPhone. PITA!

Yup, totally sucks. I have an office full of perfectly functioning computers, and yet technically they are all obsolete. I'm looking into buying a new system of two soon, but at the rate computers are upgraded, by this time next year they'll be antiquated as well.
