Apple themselves bundle a package called Rosetta with the Intel based Mac OS X which allows PowerPC based applications to run, but at some performance cost. On the PowerPC, the product Virtual PC for Mac version 7.02 is the most current Windows emulator.

I'm not aware of any emulators for Intel Mac OS X that will run on a G5. As an alternative, you might look for a copy of Quicken 2007, which should be still available from a few sources.

I believe that version of Quicken is more full-featured than the new offering. There are more and more applications written strictly for the Intel architecture. This is a huge and serious problem for the PowerPC installed base. We are being left behind! I'm sure you'll be able to commiserate with the people still running 68K Macs.
