    http://www.bing.com/blogs/Site_Blogs/b/maps/archive/2008/12/16/the-north-pole-a-virtual-earth-christmas-experience.aspx

    Microsoft Virtual Earth and MSNBC are changing the game this year when it comes to tracking Santa. You’ve all seen the NORAD Santa Tracker and while that’s been fun over the years, well, it has gotten a bit stale.

I've always felt sketchy about other 3D freeware, so starting today trueSpace 7.6 is now available for download.....FOR FREE ! And, there is a...
