                       include content of and people to deliver Linux
                       courses. This is not difficult, and you don't
                       need to be a professional educator.

Try out some of the zooming and other features; they work well.

BTW, I looked on TerraServer, which said "acquired in 1987," and lo! -
for there was a great white diagonal stripe across GW's entire suburb!
Well, let's try MapBlast... oh, dear, Perth itself is now on the beach
somewhere near Karrinyup, and there are only two highways, namely Albany
and Great Eastern, in the whole city! I love these useful Web resources,
don't you?

Mr Allpike, do you have a link to a better image for us?
