Questions
I have a
Mac, can I still take the class?
Yes! You will need
MS Office software for the Mac. The Mac version can open
and edit files from the pc but you must save the files as
pc versions ("Save As:" .doc for the PC) before
you turn them in.
What other
software do I need?
You will need a
Web Browser. All course materials are accessed through my faculty website.
You can use any browser you have. Usually you have Internet
Explorer installed already on the PCs and Safari installed
on the Macs. Currently the most popular browser is Firefox.
Browsers are free downloads.
The following are
links to download other browsers you may want to try.
What other
software might I want?
If you've never made a
Web page, you will learn to do so using an authoring tool
called Sea Monkey Composer and later with HTML,
then possibly, a more advanced authoring tool like Mozilla's
NVU, MS Frontpage, or Dreamweaver
.

links are for free, trial use downloads:
