What started out as a joke in the late eighties, has transformed into a multi-billion dollar industry (of course, I'm exaggerating). Upgrade that aging Macintosh that's just collecting dust...or take a drive to your local dealer for the custom-built macquarium of your dreams. (And for those who hate the smell of fish food, there is always the macterrarium)

Whoa, these guys are nuts: an iMacquarium (fish different?), and an Apple Lisa aquarium. I guess a Mac can be useful afterall. :)

He did not say that. Nope. I'm just ignoring that. Mathowie would never fan a platform holy war, would he? ;-)

My favorite is the macterrarium (the ultimate hacker firewall).

BTW, you'll notice broken links on that particular link, they're actually just pointing to the local HD...gotta love FrontPage :) (I hope that doesn't start a holy web-editor war)
Email excerpt to sales department follows:

This page... http://www.offcolor.com/macaquarium5.htm ...has links to one's own computer....just letting you know :) Adam << Monday, March 19, 2001 11:25:07 AM >>> Adam, Yes, I have discovered that. I allowed them to become resellers some time ago but it was with a different site and NOT the offcolor site. I have tried to contact them in the past but gave up. I just let the site run and until something happens it is no big deal. thanks, Carl Ah....they must be "thinking different" :) Thanks Carl, and good luck!

He mentioned imacs, imacs are new. Don't cover for him; you're only helping the cause. It's true then, Matt is a mac-ophobe! It's like I've been working for a company for 10 years only to find my boss is a member of kkk or something. :)

You have acquitted yourself admirably (as usual), Matt. I still love you.

If you aren't into pets, there's always the KleenexCube...

I've got an old Mac somethingsomething (I have no idea what model it is, but it's all one unit and it's not transluscent :-) sitting at home that's waiting for me to get off my ass and Aquariumize it. One of these days...
