They were stopping the downloads because of demand. I am not sure if they still are. It's a free trial and it is video card specific.

That is cool. I got the other link off of the radio today. It's the same link CNN and other TV stations use.

I downloaded it the first day of the war. I wanted to see if I could see anything. But it doesn't work like that. It is basically a snapshot of the Earth and is at least a couple of months old.

MJ19, that's pretty much what all bodies of water look like from the sky. The dark spots your seeing is smoke in the sky above the water.
Then what is the pretty emerald green body of right next door to that sh*t brown stream? :confused: I thought maybe that was Saddam's special water stash. wink

Here's a close up of the water...I think they've always had water issues and now I can see why. eek!
I think one is the natural river and the other is a reservoir...let's hope they aren't drinking that dirty water...but who knows what Saddam is feeding his people? frown
