Thanks for Google Earth for 98!

S

someone watching

A while back there was a thread on Google Earth, at least I *think* it
was this group. Someone provided a link to a modified v4 program for 98.
Well, in anticipation of using it SOMETIME it was downloaded. Finally
got to install it and wow, it is nice to have this program for W98! Wish
I could recall the name of the person who did it (Rick?). So if you were
the one who did it, nice job, and THANKS!

HEHE, well that service actually isn't free, per se uses a lot of
scripting, contains a lot of dead links, attempts to get you to use its
downloading software and PAY service, and something I have always tried to
avoid... but if you wish to equate it in the fashion of Hotmail/Live, I
suppose you could. There would be some similar aspects, for sure.

You're welcome

I posted about that over at MSFN as well
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&showtopic=96499&view=findpost&p=677333

...and I see my RapidShare link is still active..
http://rs135.rapidshare.com/files/45439296/GoogleEarthForW98-v4.0.2416.zip

Anyway remember on W98SE it's somewhat flawed as I mentioned over there,
but it does work somewhat.

Use GE on W2000/WXP where it belongs and works best.

I don't boot much to SE anymore though, unless it's necessary.
I try to read the posts at this forum often, although don't post much.

Similar as in, "Here, use it if you can. No complaints allowed, it is free,
after all. And even if you don't know it, WE know that your special data is
going to be lost permanently, sooner than later. Ask us if we care. Go
ahead, ask!"

Glad to see you're still looking in, anyhow, Chauvin. You've always been
very helpful here & full of good information.

The link is there, but the download doesn't work via any of the mirrors...
or at least didn't when I just tested them.

Though, the closer I look at that button that doesn't change when you change
the mirror option, it's hard to say if it was really all the mirrors or just
the two I hit by accident. And I only actually downloaded a couple of them.
Weird site.

Thanks PCR... and the same to you.

Rick

ps,
I replied to one of your posts on thread (Bootup - Shutdown logger)
I noticed aferwards, and I think because my date stamp was off that day you
all never saw my post? ..if so perhaps the populating server filters wrong
date posts I can still see it though.

It would appear that lots of posts are getting filtered from the MS servers
for odd words, who knows why. But how far off was your date? MS doesn't keep
messages for more than a few months. For instance, it would appear that the
oldest posts on the MS server are from the morning of 2/17/08, which happens
to be exactly three months ago. I suspect any post that is farther than
three months from present, past or future, gets deleted.

Ah, okay, so there are at least two variables involved. Win98SE verses XP,
and IE verses download managers.
Potentially even IE versions, what version did you use?

Did you check the scripting being used there? Appears it might be a bit
intrusive.

I'm sure that was probably it Gary.
Yes my month was off by 4 months one day after I adj my time and musta hit
the wrong button.

It wasn't an important post though!
It's just the point I messed up with it is all.

I just took a screenshot of the post layout in that thread as I see it in
OE, and where my post is.
http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/9869/98eu1.jpg

....Heck not that it matters since that post is not active anyone, but for
GP I will reply to my own message in that post right now to get it to show
up, if it isn't already of which I'll embarrass myself more if it is o:)
Hey, I just didn't want PCR thinking that I ever ignore him :)

IE6SP2 (XPSP2). Weirdly, today I'm being forced to wait a minute before I
can access the download list, and there is now one of those damned routines
where you gotta figure out what the letter is and input it, only this one is
worse and you gotta figure out which of the letters has a cat wrapped around
it (they all look like cats to me.) Using Win98 w/ IE6SP1, I get the same
thing. Didn't get any of that stuff last night. New?

All I know is that the site is a royal POS. Which, BTW, matches my opinion
of Hotmail/Live.

And I've reached the extent of my interest in the subject. When you come up
with something less vague regarding the scripting and whatever it is you
consider "intrusive", you let me know. In literal terms, damned near
everything you do on the internet these days is "intrusive", and most of it
involves scripting.

I bet you worry about tracking cookies, don't you?

Nah, not cookies scripting which wants to take over [to any extent] your
system and browser collected information beyond the normal [OS, browser,
screen, etc.] both of which appears in done there.

I agree, it IS a royal PITA...

I wouldn't think that of you, Chauvin. That post showed up for me today
& I responded to it. Despite what I see in your .jpg (9/1/08), it shows
