An older remnant will be defined as one in which radiative cooling occurs somewhere and has swept up enough mass for the details of the explosion to be less important than the state of the interstellar medium in which the explosion occurred. Without discussing any particular remnant in detail, I will consider how large and small scale density variations in the ambient medium affect the appearance and energetics of such remnants. Finally I will show that radiative instabilities can modify the emission spectrum of radiative shocks in such a way that a naive interpretation of these spectra can be very misleading.
