i could, but i'm not quite sure i can vpn thru 10.4 with work...they made me go to 10.3 originally for that. I'll have to check with them first. (i don't really need to upgrade otherwise)

It doesn't have the resolution of Google Maps. Luckily, I am on 10.4 so I can spend hours zooming in on friends houses.

Each time I see the title to this thread, for a second I think it says 'Flat Earth'.
