First things first. You like my program? Good. It likes you too. That'll be $3, please. C'mon, it's a fun little program and it is only three dollars(!). Help an independent OS X developer out.
Anyway, as of yet, there are way too few silly OS X applications available. Fish Bowl here is to help fill the void. It doesn't nothing useful or practical or "necessary". It just makes you smile and keeps you company. And isn't that worth the paltry sum of $3?
To install Fish Bowl, simply drag it to your Applications folder. Of course, you run it from elsewhere, if you'd prefer.
Don't forget to feed the fish from time to time, they'll appreciate it.
And that's all there is to it. Go have fun.
Fish Bowl requires any Macintosh running OS X 10.2.x or higher.
