Of course if Render is talking about Apple's own version of Java (if they have one), then he would probably be right. I noticed that VS.NET has its own version of Java (J#) and it is totally different. It is annoying when trying to program on a computer that does not have Sun's JDK but has J#...

However, Macintosh computers should have JRE pre-installed. If the mac is a bit old, it might have version 1.4.2. My program is only compatable with JRE 1.5+, so it is possible that the macintosh would be out of date. If my program doesn't work when you try to execute it, install the latest version of the JRE at the link mentioned above.
