We thought of that, but a 60-page fanzine converted to
PDF would be a bit much for someone to view unless
they had broadband.  For now, HTML seemed like it
would mostly work OK, but I'm not so happy in the way
Netscape displays things a bit differently than MSIE.

We could do browser-specific versions, which wouldn't
be all that difficult to do, but it would be a bit
time consuming.
