Me too.  I have found xyz ASCII data, 1km control points, for the entire
province of BC but they want money for it.  Go figure eh?

I don't remember where I saw this but offhand I am thinking it was a NASA
press release or something along that line.  It was at least a year ago,
maybe more.  I read far too much geeky stuff to be able to keep track of it
all, especially seeing I am getting far more forgetful each passing day. 
My uptime is getting too short.  :-/
