Unfortunately, they will probably look horrible in older browsers, like Netscape 4.x and IE 4.x. Moreover, many posts use MathML, which is, currently only supported in Mozilla. My best suggestion (and you will thank me when surfing an ever-increasing number of sites on the web which have been crafted to use the new standards) is to upgrade to the latest version of your browser. If that's not possible, consider moving to the Standards-compliant and open-source Mozilla browser.

Fernando wrote a favourable review of my book, and has himself written a book – Filosofia Sintetica de las
Matematicas Contemporaneas
– to appear this year. If only my Spanish were better, or a translation were available.
