Very cool looking. I'll work on it.

I like when you put your cursor on the globe, it says "earth." http://www.my-smileys.de/smileys2/shhh.gif?SSImageQuality=Full

“Google Earth could have the same kind of impact as the first images of earth from Apollo”
Some think that just looking at these images will be enough to inspire people to care for the planet. Others think it is the ability to zoom in on anything, from the Egyptian pyramids or the Grand Canyon to their own neighborhood that will highlight the Earths small size and vulnerability.
“The ability to zoom from the whole planet down to the home and backyard will help people make the connection between themselves and their planet.”
“Google Earth will no doubt raise awareness about how small and precious our Earth is.”
Users can zoom in either by scrolling with the mouse or by typing a city name or zip code into the search line,

Well, my little PC at home can't handle it (Duh!), so I'll come back on Monday from my puter at work and download it. Just one more place for me to play while I'm supposed to be working ;;D

My dad sent it to me a while back.
For some reason, he thought the thing was live.
When I talked to him yesterday, he said "How come you haven't moved your car in ages?".... I was confused, then he goes "I've been looking at your house everyday and I can see that your big ass white truck hasn't moved from the front of your house!!!"

And you wonder why I'm crazy ;;D
