The September archive http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWSARCH/arc8-1999.html is set to refresh after 240 seconds: The current news page is set to refresh after 20 minutes:

I often browse the Imaging Resource along with several other web pages at once -- switching back and fourth. However, I find that many times when I lick on the Imaging Resource taskbar button, the page is reloading AGAIN. I know you add data a lot, and I'm very thankful for this, but I think 20 minutes is too short of a time considering that I can sit down for an hour or so reading different news pages and such on the web.

As for the archives, I can't understand why they refresh at all -- much less why they refresh every four minutes. They're not going to be updated.

Thanks for reading my gripe, Greg
