Hi All, I belong to a "computer-support" group mail list here in Norwalk. This link came through the list and I thought you might be interested. Very interesting site. >X-Sender: rcn8/mail.accnorwalk.com@127.0.0.1 >X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.6 (32) >Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2000 20:39:51 -0600 >To: supportlist@accnorwalk.com >From: "Ron N." <rcn8@accnorwalk.com> >Subject: Aerial photographs >Reply-To: supportlist@accnorwalk.com > >Hello Friends, > >I've found a wonderful site that dispays satellite aerial photos.
