Where is everyone ??   

Here is a map showing the location of the NAPSTERS we have located so far.  It is an ongoing project.  Send any updates or comments to Ed Walsh (eireish1@aol.com)  or Bill McBride (bill.mcbride@gmail.com).  This is an improved version over the original one.  You can display a list ("Show List") of all the Napsters on the map, or search for a specific Napster by name or address using the search box.  Click on the orange circles to show the underlying information.  Click on any marker to get the full information.
