Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

Google Earth now runs on the Apple Macintosh

Now you can get Google Earth for the Apple Macintosh. You need to have Mac OS 10.3 or greater to run it. Specific hardware and software requirements are at the Google Earth site. If your Macintosh has been made within the last few years, chances are good it will work.

Google Earth:
Google Earth puts a planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information
right on your desktop. View exotic locales like Maui and Paris
as well as points of interest such as local restaurants, hospitals, schools, and more.

Running the Google Earth software is really a kick. You can learn a lot about places you are interested in - and how to get there from where you are - by just typing in the city or full address.

The program makes it easy to add your own information and save it, as well as get information from other sources. So, there are really no limits to how much you can get out of it.

Whether you have always been a geography buff - or just wish you knew a little bit more about where places are - this is a truly great program.

The fact you can get it for free does not hurt much either!
