Check it out by visiting the several sites available where you can get an aerial photograph of location in the USA including your home, work place, or distance learning institution. I checked out an infamous diploma mill and saw that it was a small two-story building. Sites include: TerraServer-USA http://www.terraserver.microsoft.com/default.aspx (free) Google's Keyhole http://www.keyhole.com/ (7 day free trial available).
Too cool. I just saw an aerial photo of my old truck and my Honda! (Both parked outside my house in 2002).
