Google Earth is the coolest...

What is Google Earth? Only the single coolest free program out there. Yes, I am a Google-groupie. They are a big company, but they support open standards and seem to welcome competition. As much as anyone is capable of welcoming competition, but let's just say they're no Microsoft.

About a year ago, I downloaded the linux version. VERY impressive. I could find the house I grew up in. I played with it for a few weeks, but ultimately got bored and forgot about it. Recently a new version came out, so I gave it another test drive. Blown away!!! My wife's hometown of Corozal, Belize has almost perfect detail where before it was only a blurry spot!



And I'll be there in six weeks!!! With -20 degree temps in WI, THANK YOU Google Earth for a warm preview!
