 <h3>For Cactus Beginners</h3>
 
 <p>This section provides a simple guide for compiling and running an example parameter file for the Einstein Toolkit.</p> 
 
-<p>One of the complexities of high performance computing, particularly for new users, is the heterogeneous environments presented by different resources with different core software installations and local setups. For example, Einstein Toolkit codes necessitate compiling with MPI and then running the resulting application in a batch queue. As much as possible of this complexity is hidden in Cactus and accompanying tools such as the Simulation Factory.</p>
