I have the two extra Giga bytes but don't have the required broadband.
I have dialup..

I have broadband and about 100GB, but don't have the gumption or desire.... >:-)

It doesn't load it all on your hard drive. It loads some software that interfaces with Goggle somehow. I think they bought Keyhole earth viewer and integrated it into their search engine some how. I just found out about it myself.

Well, even still, it's not something I use, or need to have taking up space on my HD, even if I DO have 100GB free.... >:-)

You're right, it installs some links, not much more! And I installed it, and my God! Someone here can be happy it wasn't that day, the satelite photo was taken, that he decided to sunbath naked in his garden! ;-) (I have looked!)

It's nice... it just has a lot of places in the wrong place. At least, here in The Netherlands.

Very Blurry even at recommended veiwing size, reset Monitor etc. Plus just entering town puts you outside of the area on the side of a mountain.

Yes, my place is extremely good! I would even be able to see if I had my laundry out to dry that day! Rattelschneck, do you have my adress? If you have, you will even see where I sit right now and type this!!! (Or the roof right above, I mean!)

Has anyone with an Ati videocard and the 5.7 Catalyst drivers noticed that the images are fuzzier than they were with 5.6? With 5.6 I could zoom in to NA's condo to 300 ft, now I have to stay at 1200ft or else it will be blocky.

What was so dead about it? It was three weeks old. Plus I didn't want to start a new thread on this. So what's wrong with using an old thread?
