Here's my first (image) post, and unsurprisingly it's a chrome sphere on
checkered plane :)

enjoy...

You're welcome, and thanks!

BTW, I've got an even better version now that uses a proper land coverage
map to select between the two textures on the sphere.  If you look at the
original you'll see that various inland water features (i.e. the Great
Lakes) are missing!

If there's any demand I'll try and make wallpaper sized versions available,
so long as I can figure out the right way to credit the Blue Marble dataset
guys for the raw data.
