KAquarium

Would the aquatic creatures in the KAquarium applet happen to be based on the Sherman's Lagoon comic strip? That strip mostly featured sharks, but its sharks and sea turtle have the same bodies and eyes as the KAquarium fish and turtle(s). They're pretty much identically drawn.

I think most people are too busy focusing on the remove button to notice. I don't know why Warren likes that so much but it is absolutely useless.

A quick Google search found this

It seems there is there is a implicit permission to use these images.

Well, I don't really want it, but I don't laugh at it, because an aquarium isn't any sillier an idea than a screen saver. Someone out there might keep it.

Right-on.
I had to make it bigger for one person (whos was in their 50's), I find younger people like it more than older dudes, some don't care, some screens don't have room for it.
Good training for people to learn setting up their kicker how they want it.
If the fishies stop swimming "you're in trouble".

Hey, you're right. It lets you know the system's frozen.
