Google Earth 5.0- One of the most important computer programs available

I've always loved google earth and used it a lot, but last night I went to update it and increase the terrain detail. Now I CANNOT stop using it. It's so amazing, and for me like switching from a Tandy computer to the computer I have now.

Enjoy! You get to see EVERYTHING. My traveling aspirations are going strong again because of this program and I'm probably going to get rid of all my stuff (again) and go WWOOFing this summer.

interesting... do you travel to do that? do they pay for it? or you just go and they give you the stuff?
seems like it would be kind of cool.
never heard of that.

All you pay for is the WWOOF manual that lists the farms. Then you drive wherever you want, and make arrangments with whomever you want for anytime up to 1 day - 2 weeks or longer if you make friends with them.

Yeah, 5.0 is buggy for me to. I wish I hadn't installed it until it was out of beta.

Google Earth has opened to world to everyone.
Let me know if you ever need a travel sidekick; gypsy companion.
