So I was walking around the thrift store the other day, looking to buy some little trinket. The little ol’ ladies that work in this thrift store came in from the back room rolling in a big bin full of junk. I glanced inside the bin as she was strolling by and I just gasped! What I saw was an atrocious crime! Extremely devastating! Completely unjust! What I saw…thrown to the bottom of this junk bin…was a beautiful innocent iMac.
Tears just came to my eyes. I grabbed my cell phone…followed the little old lady as she pulled it out and slammed it down on an old file cabinet at the back of the thrift store and walked away. I just sat in front of it and thought to myself “How can anyone do this?!” So I took my cell phone and took a shot of this devastation.
I didn’t even want to look at the price cause it would make me more angry…..probably selling for like $10, cause the lil’ ol ladies dont know any better, they think this thing is just like all the other old useless computer parts laying around waiting to be trashed away cause no one wants them.
Here is the victim:
So it got me thinking, aren’t there better uses for such a piece of art? So I went looking around, and low and behold, I found my answer! The iMacquarium.
The iMacquarium is an innovative way to turn your old iMac into an aquarium to compliment your new Apple setup. So next time you are about to trash or donate your iMac, think twice about the pain you’ll put your little iMac buddy through.
Cheers!

Here’s a tip for our international members, if you were wondering how to change the keyboard language then look no further.
This article is brought to you by Alexia Petrakos
from eHow.com
Step 1
Navigate to your computer’s “System Preferences”. (Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of the screen) & select “System Preferences”
Step 2
Select “International” from the “System Preferences” screen.
Step 3
Go to the “Input Menu” screen.
Step 4
At the bottom of this screen, make sure that “Show input menu in menu bar” is checked.
Step 5
To make the “Keyboard Viewer” viewable, check the box. The “Keyboard Viewer” will enable you to see what keys on your keyboard input which letter in the language you select. This is very helpful if you don’t have access to your language’s keyboard.
Step 6
Check the boxes next to the language(s) you want available to you.
Step 7
Click the flag icon (if you’re in the US, it should be the US flag) to bring up the “Input Language Menu”.
Step 8
Click on the language you want to type in. The flag will change to the country flag (in this case, Greek), and you’ll be able to type in that language. Most programs including web browsers and word processing programs support this automatically. To switch back, click the flag icon and select the appropriate language.
Step 9
This menu also allows you access to the “Keyboard Viewer”. If you don’t have a keyboard in the language you wish to type in, you can see what character maps to which keys on your standard keyboard. This window floats on top of your applications so it’s easily viewable.
