There's been lots of ballyhoo about the US Population
having reached 300 million this past week. Here is a pretty cool
interactive map from MSNBC's web site. There's a timeline on the

when you scroll around the states. I had trouble with this in Internet
Exploder but it worked great in the Netscape/Firefox world. Happy
mapping!
