A fish lives in my monitor. No, honest it does. Sometimes it dies too (not good to put this program on a laptop you seldom use, sigh). MOPY Fish - well, George as I call him (or Fred, the unlucky laptop fish) - is pretty darned special. He may be a computer program, but he's scarily realistic. He moves like a real fish, tail and fins moving him through the water, letting him lazily float across the screen or dart back and forth.

I have to say I quite like fish. There are some in our pond, and they are so relaxing to watch as they swim about, nibbling away at food or nudging in behind plants. I don't think they'd be at home in the monitor with George, after all he is a tropical fish, modelled on the parrot fish, if any fish-fanciers out there are helped by that bit of information.

I'm rambling, I know, but this is one cool program. The more you feed your fish (or the more times you send multiple copies to your printer - yes folks, this marvel is meant to encourage you to use your printer of all things!) the more points you get. Points allow you to get extras to decorate the tank, like a rock and plant, bubbles and a thermometer - be sure not to boil or freeze the fishy now! Everybody should have a virtual fish, and look, here's one ready waiting for you, how useful!
