COMMENTS, QUERIES

Try to sort out any problems (and then feel proud of yourself!), or ask someone who knows a little about computers to help.  It will be quicker for you, and one can often sort things out by a little trial and error (the College computers, and even your own, are virtually failsafe!).  If all else fails, you could email me with a query, and make suggestions for changing this document so that it is easier for other students to use.

Happy simulating!
