Why?

Because Macintosh is a computer operating system.

The place I grew up has a huge butt cloud over the ENTIRE TOWN.

And where I live now didn't have a clear picture. Grr!

I can't run it because my laptop is too old. I can't run any games that come out any more because of it, now I can't even stalk myself! :cry:

Bigger? You could say that. Better? Haha, yeah right. Windows was made by the devil

ANYWAY, there's still google maps Paul, of course with way less detail etc. etc.

It's really kinda fun trying to find out places you know lol... but it looks real strange from the air.

We have Google Earth on the school computers. No idea why, it's only purpose is to distract kids from doing their projects. But hey, it's fun!

I found my house on it... I think... all the houses look the same. :|
But I DID find my street and bus stop, so I was pretty close.

Could stalk...
But no. you have O-Kachagi as you Avatar.

Is odd that its not Browser based anymore (by "odd" i mean; cant be bothered to download it right now)
Though i do remember not being able to find my old house last time i looked, not enough coverage at the time.
or far more likely that the tide of evil that spews forth from that place clouded the satelite.
