A few days ago you posted a satalite image of your house… it was from Digital Globe, how did you get those images? Did you actually purchase one of their image packages, or is there another way to get them - possibly a student program, etc.? I visited their site and could only find images to buy (and a few random gallery images for free). Please advise. Peace ---

ohhh… yeah you’re right. Oh well, that’ll have to do for now… I’ll have to find out how to get an image package from Digital Globe (probably have to end up paying for it) - it is soooo sweet you can get a state package (say all of CA) that has resolution measured in centimeters! Plus you get red, green, blue and near infra red! Soooo cool… you should check out the site - the free images in the gallery are awesome. [http://www.digitalglobe.com](http://www.digitalglobe.com)
