My understanding is that this may have been as much as a licensing issue (govt vs. academic institution) rather than technical.

Google Earth is a marvelous thing, but it is irrelevant when I am doing reference work because the users don't have access to it on the public machines. I want to convince my computer folks that Google Earth should be installed on a public machine--but they are very concerned about security, etc. If you have Google Earth on your public machines, how did you convince your computer folks to allow this? How locked down is it? -- can you upload files to "Temporary Places"? Can you move those to "My Places"? Can you lock down "My Places"? What problems has Google Earth caused vis-a-vissecurity, etc.? thanks in advance, Christopher J.J.Thiry Map Librarian Colorado School of Mines 1400 Illinois Golden, CO 80401 p. 303-273-3697 f. 303-273-3199 [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> http://library.mines.edu/
