Default Reaper on G5 w OS X 10.5.8 Question.

Hey everybody,

Please forgive me for my double (or maybe even squared) ignorance....

I just bought a used late 2005 dual 2.3 G5 PPC and installed 16 Gb of new matching RAM and it now has two 7200 RPM HDDs. I have a fresh install of Leopard 10.5.8 and iLife 2006. So, I am brand new to Mac and on top of that, I just downloaded Reaper for PPC. Double Virgin (at my age?)

I am a PTLE and PC user, but *want to get the most out of this new/used PPC and extend the life of it indefinitely. PTLE only went to 8.0.1 and is now up to 10.

I already downloaded the Avid CoreAudio drivers for Mac 7.4.2 so I can use my MBox2.

So here I am.....after downloading Reaper, it doesn't seem to be installed and I can't find any option to do so. I have to find it in the "Downloads" area and open it from there and agree to terms every time and so on.

Did I do something wrong or is this standard for Leopard and Reaper?

I hope this is not a stupid question. On my PC, when I installed anything, it is in the Applications area through Start and I usually choose to install an Icon on the Desktop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and help make me less stupid!'

Regards//KP
