You've got a nice resource of info with your website. However, the several times I've gone to read about the subject you post I've been unable to find it. Would it be too much to ask that you post things at the top. ie: The Mt Wilson Story.....can't find it on the page you link to. Please move it to the top of the page. (Or the bottom, I don't really care. I just don't like having to search for something that should be easy to find.

Thanks.

Spoon......when I click on the link.....I wait for a second or so and the article in question jumps to the center of my screen......now, I have java enabled and this might make a difference.
