It's a great resource, my only issue
is that the physical arrangement on the
page makes it hard to read. I realize
the need for compactness as far as
distribution on the geekcharts.com
system goes, but for an electronic
distribution it would have been better
rearranged. Nevertheless I expect
to get a great deal of use out of it,
thanks!

You could upload the whole picture into the articles image. Why bother with downloading ZIP files with a picture inside, when you can view any picture right there?
