h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My computer and I share and office with two others . David has no imagination and is still using a standard windows thing. Rebecca has a very spooky thing of dancing babies, but the folk in our general office have to suffer things like "slides of my summer holiday", "Hello Kitty", slowly changing flower arrangements, dancing pandas..... These are far more diatracting than one's own personal screensaver as however the desks are arranged, you can just see them out the corner of your eye
Me? a very tasteful and informative one from the Black Bottle distillery on Islay , which is probably driving my office mates to drink

One of the best annoying ones is where it puts up some random fortune cookie type of quote. You can sit for several minutes reading these then realise what you're doing and get back to looking busy.

Even better if they're in a foreign language that you know slightly.

No - the best one of all is that fellow who is starnded on the desert island, "Johny Castaway". I watched that for hours on end and was delighted when a new scenario happened. Like when the box landed on the island and he opened it up and it contained a hammock....but he'd had to cut down one of the palm trees to reach the box, and couldn't string it up Pure class!

Oooh, they had that one in the computer shop I bought my second PC (a 486) from... you're right, I could have stayed there watching it for hours and hours...

Any idea where I can get my hands on a copy?

I did a search on "Johnny Castaway" (including the inverted comma's - does anyone else refer to them as rabbit's ears?) and came up with 301 matches. Lots of these seems to have it available to download, so I guess it's pick a site, any site. The Johnny Castaway Home Page has lots of details including bugs and download assistance which you might find helpful.
