Ironically it reads perfectly fine on my mobile phone. The text flows edge to edge with a comfortable width--there's no zooming or panning or frustration like many modern websites viewed on mobile devices today.

My display is less than 3” wide. That’s far smaller than my first 10” crt let alone the 17” I had in 1996
