A little hard to get into, but Reeltime is now live and selling movies for download. http://movies.myreeltime.tv/ (Could be the second after Bigpond, but I tend not to count them). Cheers, Aceyducey

Hi guys, This is a neat little Google tool that demonstrates the effects of sea level rises and the flooding that would take place with 'permanent' (in human scale) changes in sea levels. Also a useful tool for identifying at risk areas for flooding based on changing weather patterns...
