Hello again For your kind Windows Firewall vs ZoneAlarm responses, on and off the list (thank you, Elaine), I'm sharing a fantastic program that Google came out with. It's called Google Earth --- http://earth.google.com/ The following is the blurb. I forgot from where I copied it:
Quote --- Want to know more about a specific location? Dive right in -- Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips. Google Earth puts a planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your desktop. View exotic locales like Maui and Paris as well as points of interest such as local restaurants, hospitals, schools, and more. With Google Earth, you can fly from space to your neighborhood; type in an address and zoom right in; search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions; tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings; and save and share your searches and favorites. You can even add your own annotations --- End Quote >From the above link you can download the program. I entered all the addresses I lived in and saw the house and the entire neighborhood around it. It's best if you included the th, rd, or st when entering street numbers. You would type in an entire addresses, commas and all, for example, "123 East 45th Street, Anycity, NY 67890" (you would type in a real address, sans quotes), and the program zooms you right into that neighborhood. Using my current address, I even saw my car in the parking lot. It's a satellite picture probably taken a few years ago. Once you accumulate a few addresses, you can travel from one place to another. I'll always regret that I never bought Google stock --- Harold. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
