Anyone look at todays LPOD, basically how do I make this program work, just d/l it and it has the images in it? Or do I have to go get the images from the Clementine orbitor?

It’s not finishing something when your tank is empty that makes you a stronger person. It’s brushing yourself off and refacing the foe that defeated you with the same determination and willingness to fight that you had when you began your journey.

This is a very cool program! The images are stored on a server (loaded as needed) and not presently available for download, so it's use right now is very dependant upon the speed of one's connection--broadband seems to me like a necessity to use this.

The 3d views are very very cool, especially when you decrease the camera elevation to near ground level... detail is quite good as well. Quite a virtual thrill ride!
