The link doesn't play nice on my machine. The page opens in Firefox
browser and shows some simple graphic of the earth with some clickable
spots (I think). Then I see a message from my firewall that Google Earth
is going out to the internet and all goes weird. The page gets new
grainy overlays and the machine essentially freezes. Something is
downloading but no joy after several minutes. Just regaining control is
a mess because my mouse movements take about 5 seconds to show on the
monitor. Two tries with a reboot between and I gave up.
Is it just a problem on my machine, or more common?
