Jeff's Interesting and Useful Internet Sites

For all our customers and site visitors, hope you will find the following links useful.

Putting customers on to broadband, installing new more powerful PCs or upgrading their PCs with the latest graphics cards with Vista or XP, we have found a number of interesting and possibly useful, Internet sites that they did not know existed. These Internet sites range from informational websites providing useful pages for reference or the latest news and entertainment to just showing what information is available on the web and how it can be best presented to end users in an superb way that you may not have thought possible. Note: - some items these may not be available on the older PCs with limited capabilities or non-broadband connections, it may be time to upgrade, why not give us a ring to discuss on Poole 01202 741881

Wow factor Sites

Want to know more about a specific location and want something different from Google Local? Dive right in with Google Earth which combines satellite imagery, 3D maps and the power of Google Search to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips. Take a look at the Hoover Dam and the local terrain.

Or look at Microsoft Live Search , type in your post code, select maps, zoom in and see your location. Now switch to Bird's Eye View, get close up aerial photos of your property or house (depending on area as not all the UK has been photographed)! Switch direction and see it from the north, south, west or east!

Did you know that after dusk and in the pre-dawn periods, one can see the International Space Station, manned spaced flights and other satellites cross the sky lit by the sun's rays. To see what's happening, use the NASA Satellite Tracking Applications and the tools from this home page.
I particularly like the Live 2D Java Satellite Tracking Maps and the Live 3D Java Tracking Display that shows 900 plus satellites, out of thousands, swarming about our earth.  You can rotate the display and modify all kinds of settings.  The display will also zoom in and out and update every few seconds for real time positioning, just see what's going on.

New....GLOBAL SATELLITE TRACKING: Spaceweather.com's simple Satellite Tracker has gone global. The tool now works not only for the US and Canadian users, but also for sky watchers in countries around the world. This development comes as the International Space Station is making bright and frequent nightly apparitions over Europe, Africa, the Middle East, parts of Asia and Australia. If you live in those areas, give it a try: http://spaceweather.com/flybys or for Poole, click here.

Just enjoy your PC and the Internet....
