So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Can anyone answer the following questions? before I pull what little hair I have left, out!
1 Which is the best/easiest website to download Google Earth from. even on broad band some of them take forever and give up at around 90%. I have a Compaq Evo N410c with Directx8.1 loaded as DX9 wouldn't load.
2 Why do some site offer the Earth for free while others including Googles own site seem to want money, while others want to give/sell me a package with a load of other software, some of which I've already got, some of which looks useless?
3 Can I get/Would I be better-off getting an older version (no interactivity)?
I remember downloading an older version about a year and a half ago on a windows 2000 machine with no problems - found the site, downloaded, end of chat. Trying to do it last night took three hours, and was a problematical nightmare resulting in several half finished Earth's on my desktop.
Any help greatfully received!!!
