Flying pig, anyone?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

This is from the official Pink Floyd website, it's pretty hard to locate so... I downloaded the .exe file.

Had this as a screensaver before the dawn of Apple's OS X, sadly they haven't updated it. As I said it's really hard to find on the site so I downloaded a PC version in case any of you stoneage types would like to try it.
What it is is a nice country landscape with Mr. Pig slowly traversing left to right. It shows the time, has country animal type noises and as the day progresses it gets darker. I used to love it and hope they update it for OS X.

available here for one week http://download.yousendit.com/ED16ED84586ED78C
any feedback would be appreciated

Downloading now and seems to kind of fit the mantra of this week... :notworthy:

In fact, it is a lot like the view from our little part of the Lakes...
(apart from the flying pig of course) - that only happens on Thursdays...

Lovely stuff indeed James :notworthy:

Still don't do screensavers though, and certainly not with sound, scare the hell out of me when I don't realise it activates :lol: But I'd know which one to choose 8)
