Hi all,

Google has started a live plot of the ISS on the backdrop of GoogleEarth maps. Not too bad.

The American Dream?

Posted By Maurice Clark
Hi all,

Here is an interesting piece on the American Dream, that was on the BBC news website today. It is an interesting piece, especially since it just looks at what is happening in the USA today without taking partisan sides. I would be interesting in hearing some comments on the article from Americans. What do you think of it?

I suppose keeping partisan politics out would be asking too much?? 8O grin

Cheers,

Maurice
