        <www.Terraserver.com> has Russian SPIN2 data of this region or very close
to it. However both Brendan Whyte and I have had the connection totally
hang-up our computers to the point where a TURN-OFF and COLD-RESTART of the
computer was required.

        Has anyone else had this problem with the European spacebased maps from
Terraserver?? And, if they have, has there been any solution found??

        In my case, I could ZERO-IN on the area in question at ground resolutions
in the range of 64-meters down to 3-meters but as I moved in various
directions by clicking on E/W/N/S/etc, after 2-3-4 or so trys, I would run
into the failure mechanism before actually getting to the exact spot desired.
