Over 15 years ago, for my undergraduate thesis I set up a "Hypermedia Textbook" on the history of my field. I had to manually collate all the info, manually scan in every photo, and type in every last bit of text and html. The end result was a couple hundred pages that looked very, very similar to what your Einstein page looks like! At the time, I knew a better way would emerge, but didn't know how or when. It's moments like this that I (a) feel old :( and (b) am amazed by the times we live in and the speed at which things are happening! :) Thank you for providing such a wonderful, if unintentional, moment of self-reflection!
