Printing problems? If a figure is partially printed, click the right mouse button, choose "view Image," and then print it.

Browser problem? Internet Explorer has some problems viewing some equations. In this case, use Netscape instead or Opera.

Music is a nuisance? Use Opera. You will not hear a thing.

Viewing Problems? If you do not see subscripts (e.g., in K₁, 1 should be seen as a subscript), update your viewer. Otherwise, the notes will be very confusing. Either Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer will do, except the latter has a problem displaying bars properly, as in `K).

Transparencies? Figures are optimized for producing color transparencies. First view each figure separately and then print it.
