While I upgraded (tho I'd originally call it a downgrade, and I guess=20

I do still sure miss worldclock/worldwatch.  In addition to the practical=

fond memories of watching the day/nite terminator change shape over the=20

shape change to \ / in real-time over that day and the few on either side=

Anyone have any replacement suggestions?  As I write this it occurs to me=

that marble might possibly do that now, and the marble globe wallpaper=20
could potentially provide that real-time view without having to have a=20
marble window open over equinox, altho from my experience, most of the=20
time attempting to actually activate the marble wallpaper ends up=20
crashing all of plasma instead, as the various libraries and etc are=20

without crashing.  Tho the marble interactive wallpaper is definitely=20
awesome when it works. =3D:^/
