I have been informed that the file "earth-cloudless.gif" that had been here
is not from NASA; it is owned by "GeoSphere" and is copyrighted (c) 1990
Tom Van Sant / The GeoSphere Project. It should NOT have been available for
free on the network. The copy that had been here I saved from an unattributed
posting in sci.geo.geology; if you see the image posted again let the poster
know that GeoSphere will _come after them_ for violating their copyright. If
you like the image, buy a copy legally by calling 1-800-845-1522. If you
downloaded the copy that used to be here (or if you have an illegal copy from
any source) please delete it and save yourself (and ME) some trouble! Trust
me, it's scary to get an unexpected phone call from Washington demanding
money for copyright violation. You don't want to experience that, DO you?

Thanks!
