If anyone would like to have this screensaver download it into the WINDOWS folder of Drive C: .Then set it up like any other screensaver and in settings add your local Lat/Long from your GPS, tick above location , and set it on about 8000klm, The file is 1.07mb and won't take long on Cable or ADSL.
This screen saver turns ever so slow in time with the Earth and you will be able to see the actual shadow line,click the word HERE near the top of the page

Downloaded the file, put it in WINDOWS on C Drive, opened screen saver settings, set it to lat/long, above image, 8000k and all I get is a black screen with the test at top and bottom. Cannot see the word HERE anywhere. Whats wrong ?

OK, I see that the Here as in original post is on the download page and not a part of the screen saver settings as I originally read it, BUT, it still doesnt work.

I did a Google search and found that screensaver at 4 sites, downloaded from each site and got the same result.
Think I will forget it.

Ok i just downloaded it from my link to the desktop , double clicked it and let go of the mouse and it works , as with screensavers as you would know if you move the mouse it's gone. So if i put that file into my Windows folder and close the folder then go to desktop properties/screensaver select EARTH do your settings set minutes and click apply / OK ,you can see it also by clicking preveiw ,don't move the mouse,Other than that if it still don't work do a restart.

Like the comments on daylight saving though.
Qld doesn't need daylight saving, it needs evening saving, or even morning saving.
The coolest part fo the day is around sunrise, so instead of putting the clock forward an hour we should put it back an hour, so we have an extra hour in the morning, not the evening.
And bring on evening earlier, so we get that cooling storm or evening change earlier.
