If you are bored, go to google.earth, download and begin to explore your planet...it's free. Be patient to allow it to work. It's even better now updated for 2006. This is a remarkable and amazing search satellite powered website feature that you can control..
You can go from Tokyo to San Diego to London in seconds, off to Hawaii then to your street or to your house if your phone is listed.Major places are featured and you can pick up phone numbers of restaurants etc. You can also navigate using arrows, zoom in or out, and even move crabwise over the terrain. Then you can make the terrain appear flat and make it look similar to flying in a plane except you can travel backwards and sideways! You will be facinated with this as I have. You can check elevation of certain areas also. It's one more thing you can do with your computer instead of getting into trouble. For some reason, I found areas with sparse trees like Arizona to be very sharp...you can even see cars and rooftops..
Your whole family can enjoy this for hours.
