I must say, that terraserver demo is quite impressive. However, I found two bugs in my first 10 minutes, so I'm not really impressed for corp usage.

1 bug was that if you use the "find a spot on the earth" routine, and it can't find it, it can't find anything else until you re-enter the routine. That's like, beginning student level error. Really makes one wonder. They've fixed it since I pointed it out, although no ack of a problem.
