A google search for "Mac PowerPoint viewer" turned up the following link

I found this on my initial search before posting here. I could be wrong, but I believe this utility says it requires a "classic" OS. Mine is Cocoa being OSX10.4.10.

I think you mean "My system is Mac OS X 10.4.10". Cocoa is one possible object oriented framework developers can use to create applications that run in Mac OS X (Carbon is the next most popular). Classic is a compatibility environment included in Mac OS X that allows you to run the classic Mac OS 9 version of Mac OS within Mac OS X.

I passed on it for this reason. Was I mistaken to do so?

I'd probably pass on it, simply because there are other ways out there to view PPT files that don't require having a classic version of Mac OS installed and running.

What you are saying I think is what I was trying to convey poorly; that my system wouldn't be compatible with software made to run in classic.
