OMG! now that is awesome!
Last Christmas I had my folk staying before I took them to the airport. They don't have broadband at home so hadn't seen Google earth.
I fired it up and started showing them the usual sights, like their house, when I zoomed in on my house I said to my mum 'if you go outside you'll be able to see the satellite looking at us' .......She couldn't understand the chuckling when she came back in.
