Hi all, Sorry, just cannot help twisting the knife in the wound (PC). Some months ago I had downloaded Google Earth onto the Windows side of my Mac & tonight felt like having a look at an area of nice gardens near Dore Station. Eventually found the trackwork (plus a Trans Pennine train approaching Sheffield Station) but no gardens. Much of the area was a dark splodge. Also, the screen size was small so I thought it might be an idea to download it onto Mac himself (why this was not do in the first place, I know not). Having done so, but running out of time, I just did a quick home-in on Sheffield: to clarity was surprising..far better than on Windows. Tomorrow, will have to see what improvements there might be on Dore. |

And you can set the window size to what you want. Isn't this more likely to be a problem, if anything, with running Windows on a Mac? By the way, a quick question to the Mac experts. Is it still the case that OS X is fixed to run only on Apple hardware? I assume that it probably is. A pity if so. cheers Nigel |

Hi Nigel, Think that, in one sense, you could be right & I have done Windows an injustice......& there is neither a fault with Mac nor Windows. I have not bothered to delve further into the cause; however, on Windows, Google did come up with the message that the screen resolution was too low, so this is probably the reason. Since I use Windows only for Templot & TurboCad, & Google is on Mac, I am too lazy to spend time swopping resolutions!! Raymond. P. S. No, I do not own shares in Apple!! |
