I sent my neighbor a satellite photo (Terraserver) of himself mowing his yard. He almost flipped out worrying about big brother. It was a USGS photo used for earthquake research but still scary to some people. Technology has its benefits and distractions.

I don't think there are different versions of Terraserver. What matters is which satellite took the picture and when. The Landsat pictures taken in 2002 and 2004 are of a much higher quality. I happen to live in an area where the latest pictures are very sharp. Landsat did not take pictures of the whole country in 2002-04. The last complete scan was in 97 or 98 from satellites that are floating junk by now. If they are ever going to scan everything, I can’t say. It is run and, paid for, by the US Geological Service. Try Google Earth. They are computer enhanced 3D pics of Landsat photos.

I run it on a Compaq ****** with a AMD Athlon 64. All you can do is try it on yours and see what happens. I still prefer Terraserver because it is quicker and not platform specific. I prefer to use my Mac ********* over my Compaq. Windows XP doesn't like me.
