Cousin Semolina ....

Aberdeenshire seems to jog the proverbial memory bell,
but I'm not 100% shure ....

Norton AntiVirus 2005 costs $49.95 in the US so probably about
3hrs to 4hrs work for the average worker in the US.
How many hours of work for an average paid Brazilian worker would it
take to buy that software in your country

Looks like some local Brazillian recruiting
might be in order ....

Most Brazilians seem to prefer pirated software than freeware. :(

Sorry to say I don't know John Williams, although I've lived in
Bedford since 1977. I do know Fannin County. Trenton's about 20
miles SW of Bonham, and my Daughter used to live on an acreage in
Honey Grove, about 20 miles E of Bonham. She still owns the land but
lives in McKinney now.

I think that ~6 hours.

NAV here costs R$ 120 or so.

The main piracy is with operating systems, and high-end softwares like
Photoshop and Autocad.

Here, people buy PC's with pirated software, because the only
manufacturers that are known to put legal licenses of Windows on their
PC's are more expensive.

ICBW, but it's my impression that this is true in most of the world
outside the US itself, at least for personal-use computers. I can
hardly wait to see what Redmond will put in place to try to limit
unauthorized use of Longhorn.

I've been there, a long time ago, on my way from Thurso to Inverness.
We stayed in the youth hostel, which is till there I see, and got
drunk in a tiny pub owned by a weird landlord.

When Longhorn comes, I will have probably moved to Linux or dumped PC
and start using Macintosh.

Well it IS a small world after all. Good to see a fellow StarTexan!

(For everyone else, Brisbee was a "virtual" town on news.startext.net
when the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper ran an internet service.)

I think I will too. I'm using Gentoo GNU/Linux for almost
everything I do already. For some reason, I'm dragging my feet on
getting newsreading and e-mail set up the way I want, though.

I've started trying Linux. Just need to get some better hardware now...

ports)

I had exactly the same vision, but also didn't see
a quick way to put it all together ....
Click to expand...

At first, I had some vague sense that it would require using software
for maps. I believe such isn't much available in freeware, but instead
in the form of large commercial CDs. I've only seen this kind of software
in passing. And actually more often, what I've dealt with has most often
been only in programs for trip-planning. So I don't know what's out there.

The other approach would be full manual labor, and probably the best
for such a project. The first, if able to locate somewhere on the web,
a graphic of a world map, hunting down one that looks the most suitable.
Then to open that in graphics program, and dot in the data.

Also most of us would need something to provide a cheat sheet. Probably
a web service would be best, if not have the software -- something that
would help indicate the spots on the map for the various locales.

Anyone who volunteered for that would have to be willing to expend some
real time and effort.... Well, for the moment at least, does anyone have
any favorite bookmarks for maps on the web?
