The button that lights and says, 'please do not press this button again' is one of the best bits of Hitchhikers. I also love the way deep thought is always right!! Anyway getting back to the button. Go to this sites homepage and there you should find the button. it is great fun and highly addictive!
ps. happy 25 years guys!

Hi Mouse
A long long time ago in galaxy far away...
Oops sorry, wrong story.

In the early 1980s I was an operator on an IBM mainframe running the Virtual Machine operating environment which allowed users to program their own function keys. So I had one programmed to not only give the user a rude message telling them not to press the button again but also to change the function of the button so that if anybody did, they would get another rude message and be logged out of the system.

Go 2 the bbc entertainment section. go 2 the bottom of the page and place the mouse over cult then click onto hitchhikers. Once on hitchhickres site click on more info on quizzes, then go 2 the bottom of that page to 'more time wasters' and click on why not press this button. its a bit of a long process but its worth it! (sorry ihavent got back sooner but ive been poorly sick!)
