The screensaver I'm using is from corona.com. Not Jimmy specifically, but it cycles through a bunch of pictures of the beach etc. Very tropical, I like it.

I made my own desktop and screen saver out of a variety of family and Buffett pictures. Contains everything from family portraits, to live Buffett, to mountains or tropical settings. Even a picture of a 14lb. prime rib that my husband grilled up on the Weber.

I love my self made screen saver!

Oh, and I also have a couple pics of the characters from Thumb Wars and the Initech logo.

Check out Webshots. You can download a free screensaver and wallpaper program. Then you can search their archive for additional photos to use. You can also use their program to import your own photos as well. The free mode lets you download 5 of their pics per day. They have some great island and beach pics, plus you can search the member photos for all sorts of stuff. Like Corona or Jimmy Buffett :D I downloaded the free Corona wallpapers and added them to Webshots so they are now part of my screen saver. Along with a few of my concert pics...

A little off topic but you may or may not find this of use.
I am not sure if they still offer or not you can try all of the various brands of beer and rum or tequila out there ( search for the various names i.e Budweiser,Guiness,Beck's,Heineken,Miller,Molson, Fostor's, Barcardi, etc)
they used to offer free screen savers, post cards,wallpaper, etc.
St.Pauli Girl offers a free poster of their "New St.Pauli Girl" every year.

Be VERY CAREFUL of some of the "FREE Screensaver" sites. Most of them are full of spyware.

As someone suggested you can mae your own and I think there are free programs available that will let you include sound with them. <ight could check at www.kimando.com in her archives I think she has covered this before.

One thing though, just remember that screensavers will eat up resources, especially larger ones with sound.
