If you have earlier versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer, or other browsers like Mosaic, (any that don't implement table cell background coloring), then you will see the dark red lines that extend down the left side of most pages on this site as interrupted or broken. The page designs use combinations of graphics and table cell background coloring to produce a seamless effect (that expands to however long the page is) when properly displayed. You will also not see the colored shading that appears under the sidebar menus. For that matter, earlier versions of these browsers don't implement font coloring either; everything will look black (or whatever color you have your browser set to display) to you.
If your browser is really old, it may not even display html 'table' tags, those which allow layout of text and graphics in discrete columns. In such cases, this site probably looks like mincemeat; but then, most websites would look like mincement to you. (If you can't get a recent version of Netscape or IE, why not? The webmaster is curious.)
If you can display only 256 colors on your monitor, then some of the graphics, such as the book and magazine covers, may look blotchy. There's not much we can do about that (and you're probably used to it).
If you have your font size set large, then you may see most of the pages on this site with broken graphics -- the continuous lines down the left side of each page discontinuous, because the text of the menu items pushes them apart when displayed large. If you notice this, try setting your font size smaller. If this is undesirable, please let the webmaster know, so the site design can be modified accordingly.
