Saying/writing "PPC and G3" is like saying "the US and California".
It is true that when you are talking about a G3 then it's a PPC that
you're talking about and that when you are talking about a PPC then
it doesn't have to be a G3; but you have to keep in mind that a G3
is acctually a "subgroup" of what usually is refered to as PPC.
Therefore it is very much useless to say "PPC and G3" unless you
are talking about two versions where one is a "works on all PPCs"
and one is made to work on only G3s.
