First of all a big thank you to ranch hand David Mason for pointing me to this site. The cattle drive will give me the challenges I need to learn, something a book on its own can't do.
But before I can go for it I need to know if I can do this course with my Mac.
I'm running MacOS 10.2.5 which has Java 1.4.1 as standard.
I think this will let me do the Java and OOP assignments but I don't know about this Orion or MySQL stuff thats mentioned later on (If I ever get that far!). Will it work?

That is the whole advantage of JAVA - write once, run anywhere.
From what I have seen MySQL has MAC versions as well.
So, throw your hurricane deck on your caballo and help us move them doggies on.

I don't see why not. Particularly if you have OS X. As long as you can compile and run java you'll be ok!

OK I'm in

Thanks to both of you for your help.
