Google Earth: Mapping

I actually experimented with earth.google.com a few weeks ago, and even before we received this assignment. My experience with SILS computers is that they were not really fast enough to explore Walt Disney World in google earth in 3D. However, it just so happens that a new computer magically appeared at my house one day this summer, and it's a fast little hummer. We've had lots of fun looking at all things WDW in preparation for our upcoming trip.

Google earth is just fine when searching for a street, etc, but when you want to search for something as sophisticated as 3D imaging, my advice would be to make sure you have one powerful pc.

Also, we were a little stunned to find just how much information one can get to specific US military installations, both here and abroad. Hmmm...
