Is it possible to use Wine with a PPC?

If not, is there a way to run windows programs on a PPC?

Can I use wine? only if your over 21 and don't plan on driving or operating large machinery afterwards :D

no, there is not a version of wine (or any variation that i am aware of) that runs on PPC. Yes, there is a way to run winows apps on PPC, but only using something like VirtualPC or VMWare.
