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,
copy and paste this code. Modify it so that half your email address
replaces "info@", and the other half replaces "motherboardbooks.com"

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use the Computer Science Pure and Simple curriculum on a
Macintosh?
Yes. It was designed for MicroWorlds 2.0 working on a PC, but can
be adapted, particularly if your Mac has a PC emulator on it with Word
and Excel.
2. Is there a newer version of
MicroWorlds available?
Yes, MicroWorlds EX is available from LCSI. It has higher-resolution
graphics, and the Procedures Page and
Graphics Page are shrunk to fit on the same screen, instead of having
to toggle back
and forth. Look for the MicroWorlds EX "Set" on the order page. This
does not include our books, but is a license for single home use such
as we sell for MicroWorlds 2.0.
3. Does the MicroWorlds disk contain
lessons or a spreadsheet or word
processor?
No. For this curriculum you need a book, a disk, and a PC or Mac
PC emulator with word processor and spreadsheet, in addition to
Notepad/Wordpad which come on a PC and SimpleText which comes on a Mac.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. I am confused about the Command
Center in MicroWorlds. What is it for?
See tutorials at the top of this page.
