To insert code on your HTML
source page that will look to the reader like your email address but
will shield your email address from spammer spiders,

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use the Computer Science Pure and Simple curriculum on a
Macintosh?
Yes. You must purchase MicroWorlds EX, which will work on a Macintosh. Other subjects covered include Excel and some use of Word, so you may want a PC emulator with MS Office. But the lessons can be used with other word processing and spreadsheet applications. You will also need to use SimpleText which comes on a Mac.
2. Does the MicroWorlds disk contain
lessons or a spreadsheet or word
processor?
No. The lessons are in the book. These tell you how to use the disk and other software, which you need to have access to separately. The software is commonly available, however: a word processor and a spreadsheet, in addition to Notepad on a PC and SimpleText on a Mac.
3. How do I find Coolpage, for a lesson in CSPS Book 1? Go
to the Internet and look at www.coolpage.com,.
Download a trial version.
4. I have a Mac and want to
make a simple HTML file. What do I
do?
Start SimpleText. In OSX, start TextEdit and change the following
preferences, in the preferences window: "Plain Text" instead of
"Rich Text". Then select "Ignore rich text commands in HTML
files." Now type in your file, and save the program with an html
extension, for example, Myfile.html.
5. I am confused about the Command
Center in MicroWorlds. What is it for?
See tutorials at the top of this page.
