	Hi SETIaner, I have a question wheather somebody of you know where I get a special wallpaper. This paper should show in realtime where on earth is day and where is night(like in mission-controll of ESA, NASA,...). I would like to see that it is connected with the system clock and actualist every x seconds. The whole is more then the sum of its particles.

	there are several wallpapers arround, many shows day & night, most of them let you specify a city, and the "night/day" is shown from this city. It's for KDE Linux or for a m$ system or it's a mac? there is no further infos from your note, so it's difficult to help. why don't you go to google and make a seach about "earth and wallpaper" ? it gives you many good link to explore.

	> why don't you go to google and make a seach about "earth and wallpaper" ? > it gives you many good link to explore. That's clear,but I search a special one for WIndows 2000. It shouldn't be only a wallpaper from the earth, you should the the day-night zone move over the wallpaper (see picture, dark and lightend zones should move depending on system clock). The whole is more then the sum of its particles. Aristoteles Best wishes from Berlin(52°35'N,13°23'O), where you can't see the Milky Way ;-)! Bas

	If you go to http://www.fourmilab.ch you can find not a wallpaper but a screesaver and other utilities that does just this. This is the website of John Walker, founder of Autodesk (AutoCAD) who has put out a lot of things for free :)

	There is another screensaver from the Star Alliance company (air flights). It can be downloaded here. Information about it can be find here. At http://www.fourmilab.ch, you can go to Home Planet and download the lite version if you want or just the screensaver. Greetings from Belgium.
