Think its interesting a year later we all have cheap easy access to this info online with googles satalite search. I was looking for a post made about the service when I found this old one. Thought I bump it up so others can have a peek what was said year ago about this kind of access

The current posts aren't good enough? Having to bring back dead ones?

Much better, thanks. Now I see why it's called Infinite Loop.

Indeed. Athens, couldn't you just have linked to the old thread?

Like so: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=195168

That would have prevented me from needing to split that thread back into its original and this one.

And I bet there were Eleventy Billion (tm) threads on Google satellite maps already...

See up there where it tells you the date that picture was taken? Where it says 1991? Apple was still (IIRC) on Mariani Ave at the time -- 1 Infinite Loop hadn't yet been built. (Though by the looks of it, it was under construction in 1991.)
