Use a newspaper advertisement or an on-line site to find a computer for general
home use or serious gaming. On a piece of paper indicate the source you are
using, the name of the computer including the company that "makes" it and the
model name, and the price. Also mention any other devices included such as a
printer. Be sure to include any other information such as rebates or included
software. If you can, include the advertisement or a printout from the Internet
site with your assignment.
On your assignment paper list the specifications for the computer as stated in
the ad or on the site. Specify the use of the computer; gaming, surfing, word processing.
Internet sites will give much more comprehensive information than newspaper adds.
When listing the specifications be sure to include the part of the computer system
being described with the specification next to it.
Do this TWICE.

An editor is required to enter HTML to create web pages. The editor does not have to have all of the features
of a full word processor. MS Word can be used but it adds additional information to your HTML that is not
necessary. There are many free editors that are small, easy to install and take up very little memory or storage.
Use an Internet search engine to search for something like free HTML editor. There are also many freeware
and shareware sites that have many examples of these editors. You may try:
www.download.com
www.nonags.com
www.snapfiles.com
www.tucows.com
An editor that claims to be easy to install is highly desireable. Choose five of these editors. Give the name of the
editor and the URL of the COMPANY or AUTHOR website. List at least six features of each one. DO NOT list a
feature unless you understand what it means. Ask your teacher the meaning of any features that you do not
understand.
Example:
Name: Notepad++
URL: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
Features:
1. Allows editting of more than one document
2. User-defined syntax highlighting
3. Brace and indent guideline highlighting
4. Macro recording and playback
5. Loads quickly with files last editted
6. Full search and replace functions
7. Installation does not disturb registry
Create a menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner at a restaurant. Include several different categories for each meal
that have several different choices each. Use the unordered list tags that we learned in class. Include some pictures
where appropriate. Use color, sounds and smells to make the menu more attractive! Use headings and horizontal
rules to separate sections. Make up a name for the restaurant. BE CREATIVE!
