TANKKNIGHT  This is really cool and fun to watch. Unfortunately it glitches and drags on my Quad G5 so I can't buy into it.   (Version 3.0.1)

HELIOS9  I've been using Earthbrowser for a number of years and find it always fascinating and enjoyable.

The new version seems to have an expanded range of options, but I found version 3 rather glitchy and not at all as smooth running as version 2. But I expect any problems will be addressed in later versions.

Quite frankly, I find version 2 has a more well defined and graphically bolder rendering of Earth; I prefer that one and will likely just keep using my copy of version 2. I burned a dmg onto a CD for safe keeping, as well as put a copy onto my external hard drive for safe keeping.

There is a $10 off purchase price for upgrades, at $19.95.

You just click where it says "Upgrade Discount For v2.x Users" at the top of the purchase form at the Earthbrowser website, and enter your version 2 reg number and email address.  (Version 3.0)

SLOB  First off, this seems to be a full price upgrade at no reduction. Next, you have to download, via a browser, Adobe Air to your system. This so you can then download the Earthbrowser software.

I put up with this out of curiosity, launched and found all my favorites unavailable with no obvious way to access them, no 'import settings' or anything I could find in the windows type menus.

Back to 2.11 and that's it from now on I guess.. but at least 2.11 still works.  (Version 3.0)
