First of all, thanks for the new Access!! Swell job.
As to Nelson's problem. it is none. I had google earth on one
computer already from way back, but then installed it on another
computer to see what Nelson was talking about.
It tells you all that in a pop-up, but it downloads the
application and in the download you are asked to also download the
plug-in for Safari. The browser is somehow involved as it works
quicker and more efficiently , so I read that, After all, Safari is
the browser that gets you to google earth. I haven't checked Firefox.
It might need some plug-in, too.

Nelson,
I had no problem with installing Google Earth 5.0.
After you install it, it will be in your Applications folder. I
also dragged its icon to my dock. I click on the Google Earth icon
in the Dock (or double click on it in the Applications folder) and
it opens in Google Earth. It does not open in Safari.
I know there are some (or one) plugin that you need to link Google
Earth to your Web site. Maybe that's what popped up; it does come
up in Safari. I think I just closed Safari and when back sailing
the open seas in Google Earth. Does it keep popping up?
The only strange thing I ran into was when I clicked on one of the
National Geographic items, it linked to a private You Tube site and
you had to be one of the "owners" friends to view the video. Weird.
I did not view it.

I installed the new Google v.5, which resulted in:
Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in.
The page "Google Earth" has content of MIME type
"application/geplugin". Because you don't have a
plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content
can't be displayed.
How did Safari get involved?
Anyway, I Googled for the text in bold above + "Mac".
"Did you mean geoplugin?"
No, I did not.
Please point me in the right direction.
