That might have been my mistake when I ran Eudora Plug-in to convert
the subject from all upper-case. I may have inadvertently picked up

I read an article about the 2 guys behind google maps and earth.
They are aussies and it was apparently developed in Sydney, then sold
to Google.
Both now work for google in Sydney.
Just hope we gonna have asap all detailed maps of bushwalking areas.
