Notes on 'xfish':

Xfish is a program that opens a window that, for all intents and purposes,
appears to be the root window, except for the minor fact that there's now
fish swimming around in it.  It also has the added benefit of instantly 
raising your load average by 1 unit.  If you're doing it over a network, it
even simulates heavy network traffic.  It's the program that does it all, 
provided you define 'all' as meaning 'puts fish on the screen'.

You can specify the number of fish, from 1 to 100.  The default is 20.

If you grow bored with having fish flapping around on your desktop, you can
poke them with the left button.  This will cause the fish to feep at you, and
turn around.

If you grow tired of annoying fish, you can just blow the suckers away by 
shooting them with the right button.

Important Fish-Blastin' Tip:  You have to lead the fish, as there's a delay
between the time the mouse is clicked, and the time that the program finds
out that the mouse was clicked.  The time is fairly constant, so the faster
a fish is moving, the more you have to lead it.  Shooting the last two or
three fishes is mostly a matter of luck.  And superior firepower.

When you've blasted all the fish, it'll print give you your seconds-per-fish
ratio.  It's more fun to compete.  Play flipper skill games for fun and 
excitement.
