Desktop Aquarium

One of my all-time favorite desktop aquarium screen toys has been updated again. “Aquazone Seven Seas Deluxe” – you’ve probably used earlier versions of it on your own desktop, as it works in both Windows and OS X. This virtul aquarium now has 40 different species of photo-realistic fresh and saltwater fish, turtles, sharks, and jellyfish. Plus, you can now “tap on the glass” and “sprinkle in fish food” – making an already-fun desktop aquarium even more fun (and less messy than the real thing). It’s even better for me now, as I have a widescreen monitor to the right of my primary screen – connected to another machine, which now runs the aquarium in the foreground. I’ve got it set to follow a shark around the screen right now – but can change it to a tank full of clown fish in an instant. What’s more, they’re currently running a special $5 discount if you use the code ‘NewYear2006′ in the order form. This is the only way I could ever own fish – digital fish in a virtual fish tank.

Optimize 3.0 is an excellent tool to have in your arsenal. Use it to clean up your computer, free up space by removing junk files, and to generally speed up your computer. You spend a lot of time using your machine... don't you want it to run at its optimum speed and efficiency?

Looks nice, but the $5 discount link didn’t work for me, plus they want $6.99 for the “privilege” of downloading the app again if I need to reinstall it (within two years). That, and there’s no demo to download and try out.

No, thanks. I prefer to buy software that gives me access to install whenever I want to, without charging me extra. And they expect me to fork out for the app, without ever trying it out? How 1999… :-)

But I’m going to miss the nice pretty fish on my new iMac. ;-)

Hmm . . . looks to have the same retail of $24.99. The additional $5 off is nice, but I don’t see the other $5. Maybe I have to know the secret Des Moines Homeboy handshake.

That’s my favourite too!
