So, I'm sitting here putting placemarkers in the new Google Earth, and IR pipes up from his couch...
IR - "Terraserver?"
Me - "Nope. Google Earth."
IR - "Ooooohhhh... Google Satellite Maps?" *What, does he think I wouldn't know the name of "Google Satellite Maps"??*
Me - "No. Google Earth."
IR - "Ooohhh.. I see... It's an application?"
Me - "Yup."
IR - "Internet based?"
Me - "Yup."
IR - "hm."
*a minute passes - I'm looking at the aircraft boneyard in Tucson Arizona*
IR - "That's a pretty big airport."
Me - "It's an aircraft graveyard."
IR - "eehheeeeeheeeeeeeHURP HUURP Fulla MIGs, huh?"
Me - "Nope. Mostly American military aircraft."
IR - "Oh. hm. Where's that?"
Me - "Tucson Arizona."
IR - "hm. hm. Wonder why they put it there?"
*Why would anyone care?*
*another minute passes - Marking the White House now...*
IR - "So, can you, ya know, find this building?" *My townhouse*
Me - "Oh yeah, I've already looked at it."
IR - "Ohhhhhh.. So, you can, ya know, see where my car is?"
Me - "......... It's mostly year old or better satellite images, not live."
IR - "Ooohhhhhh... hm."
