Morning; late nigiht here, just about to crash.
AQ/Teresa: See response to yours on the previous Weekly Chat. Thanks!
Hope you're all staying dry.
DjoaS when I went up to the Google site they were only offering 5 or a download to a previous version 4.3. Now I'm concerned I need a graphics card and know NOTTHING about them. I'm getting desperate;
Would downloading this _ I have no idea what it is but maybe a graphics card - help? It' free
ATI Mobility Radion 9000 IGP
How do I get hold of GE 8
Cirrus
Don't know anything about graphics cards, but this is how I did it ...
If you type 'Google Earth 8 download' into your search it should show you the site where you can download it.

DjoanS - bless YOU! thank you - done that , got it and apart from the 'empty' boxes randomly distrubuted over the globe ( rather irritating but ......) I can now see Rothes' and Mallachie's route quite clearly and I have terrain. Phew ! Can't tell you how grateful I am to you. One stress less - off to work in an hour but NOW (thanks to you) I can look forward to the satellite data being updated tonight and view it when I get home.
A big hug and a X
Thanks Margobird
She is really getting a move on:)
Diane/Wattle: Didn't do the Siberia trip - too cold there! :-) But BELOW ground level! I'm impressed!
I didn't confess to inumerable (sp?) failed test flights on GE - I took the pokey plane. Of course, once I read the instructions, it helped, but barely. The controls are counter-intuitive.
Glad it worked ... I know how frustrating these things can be ... don't work too hard :))
Cirrus/Djoan: I just updated GE - it was version 5. IE has a version 8 update (which I haven't done yet.)
Cirrus, as a last resort, throw computer across room and then drive over it in large truck. It won't solve the software problem, but at least it will destroy enough hardware that you won't have to spend more time trying to fix the blankety-blank thing!
Margobird: Thanks for new blog info.
NEW BLOG FROM RICHARD
Thanks Lindybird!
Gary has posted a link on Facebook to a U.S. osprey cam (not live) in Maryland. What's nice is that on their blog page there's a reference to "the famous Loch Garten ospreys." How cool is that!
