Here's the minimum system requirements:

OS X 10.3.9, Mac G3 500 MHz, 56MB memory, 200 MB HDD space.

I had it on my Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHZ, 10.5.8, 2 GB memory.  It ran well on
my machine.  But a Mac from 1999 vintage with a 350MHz CPU is going to be slow
and really does not meet the minimum requirements.

Install media for a Mac is hardware specific.  In order to use Tiger or Leopard
on different Macs you would need the retail version. Those DVDs are Black
rather than silver gray.

I would be happy to send it to you regardless of whether it worked on their
machine or not.  The install DVDs includes books, maps, commentaries, and a
number of Bible versions.  There's also an add on DVD which installs the NIV. 
Altogether 2 DVDs and would probably fit in one of those disk mailers.

You might want to keep it for yourself.  Never know when you'll come across a
great deal on a Mac and buy one.  They're really fine machines. Perhaps a bit
overpriced (as Jean would say) but you can always find a good used one for much
less.

If you want QV, send me your postal address via email and I'll get it out to
you this week.

Regards.
