Heh... "too slow; lousy resolution"?  Well, Lynda, I wouldn't go THAT far.  I
have World Geograph.  Even though I am a college student I have found it quite
useful for my own geography classes.  It's a wonderful little program
(probably lacking next to PC Globe 3.0) but I have no complaints.  The maps
are colorful and the resoultion (in 640 mode) is fine.  Nothing is fuzzy or
questionable.  And the 'gazetteer' is complete and informative.  

As for the speed, sure, the maps don't POP up on the screen, but they don't
take three years either.  The problem is, I think... everyone wants an IBM
inside an Apple case.  I don't look at IBM and then look at my Apple and wish
it could go as fast or have VGA comparable grahpics.  I look at my Apple and
say "Wow, good machine.  It does just what I want it to.  I'm happy with it
the way it is.  After all, I DID pick it over an IBM."

If you want to go faster, get a Transwarp.  Simple as that.   Personally, I
can't afford one, but I'm not complaining.  Maybe I am an odd one out here...
dunno...
