Thanks. The macpowerpc.com link was useful. The downloadplex, not so much.

I’ve found software for my PPC Mac using this site:

http://macpowerpc.com/

The writing isn’t always clear but don’t let that fool you: there’s a lot of great software outlined here. For example: this site taught me about Aurora. It’s the best browser I know of for PPC – runs faster than TenFourFox for me.

AuroraFox looks interesting. I’ll look into it. Thanks!
