For anything running the X Window System (versions 10 or 11) there
exists a program called `xfish' which floats a bunch (20?) small fish
in the background; if you click one mouse button on a fish it starts
to head the other direction; if you click the other, it `shoots' the
fish. Sort of silly, but it beats the dull gray matte background, and
some people find it endlessly fascinating...

It was written by John Bradley . I (or maybe
he?) could post it here (alt.aquaria) if there really is interest (it
is a small program...)

PS. to athena users: If you want to run it, just `attach sipb' and run
`/mit/sipb/vaxbin/xfish' (or rtbin if you are on a PC/RT). 	_Mark_
