380327 2005-08-12 00:05:00 It will probably get better as more areas are added that you can zoom down into.
Melbourne was pretty good and my son was able to show me where he used to live there and London was good as well I was able to zoom right into where my other son lives in Battersea.
Also I was able to fly through the Grand canyon.
This has the potential to be really good stuff and as it is its kinda fun.

Whew, technology eh :cool: 20 years ago who would've thought it.........

380330 2005-08-12 03:00:00 I have used it at home andd love it. I have Woosh wireless 256 and it is still quite slow to resolve really close up images of Sydney. I would love to try it at work but all our pcs have limited user accounts and so it won't install properly. Does anyone know a way to install to a Windows 2000 work pc with limited user logon?

Cheers

380331 2005-08-12 03:43:00 Hi Steve*. This is the second time you have mentioned altering or installing on a works machine. Either your employer is casual or you might be treading a fine line. You would be if it was my machine. :cool: Scouse (83)

Sure, guess I could ask. I know what the answer would be though...
system administrators are like mean parents and they treat us all like naughty children :annoyed:

system administrators are like mean parents and they treat us all like naughty children :annoyed:Well.. (looking at back up the thread)
I would love to try it at work but all our pcs have limited user accounts and so it won't install properly. Does anyone know a way to install to a Windows 2000 work pc with limited user logon?It is likely that if you stop behaving like a naughty child, they'll stop treating you like one ;)

Just ask them, and give decent reasons about how this could apply to your job, there should be little reason for them to say no if it could help productivity.
