FAQs
- What do I get for my hard-earned cash?
- A nicely-made magazine with a glossy colour cover on the outside and ten printed listings of web pages on the inside, accompanied by illustrations and info.
- I don’t understand, it’s a magazine of HTML source code?
- Yes, you type it in then you get to play the games and run the apps.
- Type it all in? Why?!
- Because it’s a lost form of software distribution. It was intriguing and rewarding back then, maybe it still is now.
- Don’t I need a web server or something?
- No, you edit a file on your machine then open it in a browser (don’t worry, there’s a beginners’ guide).
- Can I cheat and get a PDF instead?
- No.
