[] Did you get Google Earth to work, David? Yes- it's amazing. It seems to use quite a bit of processing power though I only have a G4 processor, but is stable. What an astonishing tool it is! I take it that many areas will gradually add higher resolution. I was a little disappointed I couldn't see my brother's house in Norway! Mine is very clear- I can even recognise a neighbour's car. (The picture is around 3 year's old, judging by some of the building work.) -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org |

[] Only the particularly bad meals stick in my mind from the period in the late 1960s and early 1970s when I visited Paris to work every week. My first two visits to Paris, I remember the food as being either disappointing or very average- but I made the mistake of being vegetarian. As an omnivore, I've had better experiences, though not uniform. In Nice, by contrast, I didn't have a single bad meal. All excellent. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org |

Mont Saint Michel is good too. Did you learn to tilt the image to get a good 3D effect? Yes- that's interesting. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org |

Our daughter lives in Florida so that is the state of preferred destination now. I only know Miami Beach and Delray Beach, and they do have some good fish restaurants. In Miami Beach, I tend to prefer going for the Cuban food though. We have spent time around Fort Lauderdale and also on the other side in the Fort Meyers area. From our limited experience the sea food seemed better on the Miami side of Florida. |

"Turan Fettahoglu" turan.fe@invalid wrote in message ... One might use a ratio of good/bad. But you know Berlin ain't that bad. Berlin is all right. I was there in September to check this out. Turan I agree, as well. I was there in September, staying in the east, and attempting to communicate using my atrotious German. In the east, fewer people speak english, but they would immediately call an associate who did speak english if my pantomine/bad German didn't work. The shop keepers didn't seem jaded, and I genuinely enjoyed our attempts at conversation; I think they did too. Sarah |

DDT filled have a good point as opening the fridge door actually increases the global heating by more energy consumption while removing the light bulb may save a little. I was actually just making fun of Earl for suggesting that flawed research was actually of some value. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Another weakness of American seafood presentation is the lack of a "plateau de fruits de mer" best one I have had was in Scotland, straight out of the loch so a lot could be raw, also very large hand dived specimens. In Spain of course it would be much cheaper. Of course neither give it a French name. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

In a kitchen? Grilled, boiled and with what sauce? Yes. Can you remember how a meal was prepared in 1967? I also don't have the ability to compare a lobster I ate in the 60s with one I eat now with any reliability. But I think the commonest preparation I ate in the 60s was possibly thermidor and probably still my favourite. I find a grilled (a la plancha) large lobster can be a bit too rich. Overall, if I'm paying restaurant prices I prefer the chef to add some value. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

... * of course I've never even visited, but what does that matter in ... judging it? *Never* visit Paris, you'll be so enthralled you'll never leave it. Take my word. Oh please. Paris is nice, so are lots of places. I'd rather be in San Sebastian, a city on a bay with probably the best food in Europe:- "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk/basque.htm#sebastian" Just look at "La Concha" bay, the hills, a poor man can eat like a King in the tapas bars, or a king can eat like a gourmet in the high flying restaurants like Akelari. Where else do the menfolk form cooking societies? -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
