"Big brother" has been around since long before 1984. :( Have a look at http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/my-house.jpg (a screen-cap of Arachne with the mouse cursor pointed at my house) Grab http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/my-house.htm and take the link you'll find inside to have a look for yourself. These are the kinds of images available to anyone... free of charge. Just try to imagine what or government has. :( BTW Terraserver is operated by MSN. :( However, As you can see from the screen-cap.... it is "Arachne friendly". ;-) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/download.htm
