Congrats on the early retirement! It takes guts to decide to do that. :)

Python can run on a mac 10.4. In the worst case you may have to
download xcode and build Python from source, if there are no powerpc
binaries available. That's pretty simple, though (./configure && make
&& make install).

I am using an old mac as my main computer, and it runs os x 10.4 is this too old? It fills my needs, and I am on a fixed income and can't really afford to buy another. I think python would be a good starter language, based on what I've read on the net.
