MacQuarium 20 - The Finished Product

Finally, all put together

For those of you playing along at home, here's a rundown of what's happened since the previous page was put up:

A third fish, NuBus, was added.
Moof got steadily sicker, then QuickTime, then NuBus. It was a goldfish slaughter. *sigh*
After all the corpses were removed, I emptied the tank entirely, and gave it a good cleaning.
The tank then sat, full of water and ready to go, for one month.
And that brings us here!

The completely finished tank, with the back cover on (that you can't really see from this shot).

Here's QuickTime 1.5, swimming along in the tank that as of now is all his. The original QuickTime (1.0) was a fish like this one, hence the naming.

A close-up of QuickTime 1.5. In his new home for one day, and still growing strong.

Here we can see the back hood a bit more. From the side it looks disturbingly like an unmodified Two-Page monitor.

Luckily the feeding/water-changing hole I cut covers up nicely. The piece of plastic I cut out rests on the tank itself, and one of the AOL CD's that's in there to keep the bubbling water from splashing into the top vents.

Around to the back, the only thing that gives this away is the air-hose going into the signal input area, and the information-plate I put on it.

And of course, the air-hose disappearing into the computer itself may lead some to think something's afoot here. Note the reset/interrupt switch is available, in case the MacQuarium crashes.

Watch this space - I just might put a QuickTime VR image of the Two-Page MacQuarium in here. We'll see... =)

Back to the "Finished" day
