Well of course, since it has asked me to download and install 1,000 things in order to run it and then after I installed DirectX it still asks me to install it. :x

Very cool!

Two things which jump out at me as special right away - the NRL animated weather sattelite images and the "Rapid Fire MODIS" interface.


Thanks for the tip - I hadn't heard of this program.

I've got version 1.2 of this installed but since finding Google Earth haven't used it. It brings up a "Could not connect to server" error too often and I like the ability to put place marks on the Google one. :D
