苹果电脑巧变水族箱

Living Screensavers

一台过时的苹果电脑与一个装满五颜六色鱼儿的鱼缸组合在一起，这样你会得到什么？你会得到一个活体屏幕保护程序，又称为“苹果水族箱”Macquarium。Macquarium源自于Macintosh（苹果电脑的麦金塔系列电脑）与aquarium（水族箱）这两个词，也就是将旧的苹果电脑改造成可使用的鱼缸。“苹果水族箱”是撰写电脑文章的作家安迪·伊纳克在20世纪90年代初期开玩笑创造出来的词汇。他认为将麦金塔电脑升级最好的方式是把它变成水族箱。令人惊讶的是。伊纳克真的身体力行，自己做了了一个活动模型出来。

What do you get when you combine an outdated Macintosh computer with a tank full of colorful fish？ You come out with a living screensaver, otherwise known as a Macquarium. Derived from the words Macintosh and 1）aquarium, Macquariums are old Apple computers that have been converted into working fish tanks. The word was first coined back in the early 1990s by computer writer Andy lhnatko as a joke. He suggested that the best way to upgrade a Macintosh computer was to turn it into an aquarium. Surprisingly, Ihnatko put his money where his mouth was and built his own working model.
