I would suggest that those who have trouble viewing in the browser
save the PDF to disk, then view it from disk.  Certain webserver/browser
combinations do not correctly convey the "application/pdf" MIME type
and can cause this difficulty.

Barry, the PDF's look fine to me viewed on several different platforms
with PDF software going back to Acrobat 4.x and several non-Adobe-brand
PDF readers too.  In fact, I swear that the electronic copies look
superior to my much dog-eared paper copies that have seen much use
and passing around over the years.  I would estimate that for each
copy of Hollow State Newsletter that you guys sent out, that there
were at least a dozen readers.  Having them on the web is way more
convenient than waiting for a loaned-out copy come back, let me know
what help you need in getting older editions scanned in!

At this point in time, PDF is without a doubt a very good choice
for publishing.  If you can convert it to HTML reasonably that'd
be a fine choice too.

Tim.
