Me and my workmates havew got an addiction that is now as addictive as playing Chess its called google earth and its amazing.

Your proberly all clued up on it here but if you arnt you can basicly type in a address location etc and get a Satalite photo of your area house and zoom right up too about 100 feet above your house.

I recommend it if you havnt tried it yet were addicted

Yeah, tried it a couple of months ago, some areas are better than others plus a lot depends on the graphics card you have in your computer and the cpu size....I gave up with it because of that. Still it's ok for free.
There's another one too, run by NASA.

really, I recommend getting a new graphics card i got i top of the range one of ebay for 40 pounds its got 256 memory and runs on direct x 9 and is backward compatible which is useful as alot of older pc's run at X4 Bus Speed and most top games require X8 so you can get round that problem with this sort of card and they are easy to install

problem is, anything associated with the US gov is also likely to be doing spying elsewhere🙂 as well i.e. on you and your interests.
