I’m thinking that addressing the choices users make when they decide to print (or not print) a document or email could be an interesting specific example to investigate as part of my research, once I get to the stage of user trials. It’s not ‘micropersuasion’ in Steve Rubel’s sense, exactly, but there is some commonality. Is this kind of very, very weak persuasion – actually worthwhile? From a user’s point of view, it’s less intrusive than, say, a dialogue box that asks “Are you sure you want to print that? Think of the environment” every time you try to print something (which would become deeply irritating for many users), but when applied thoughtfully, as (in a different area of paper consumption) in Pete Kazanjy’s These Come From Trees initiative, or even in various e-mail footers* (below), there may actually be some worthwhile influence on user behaviour. Of course, it’s not terribly useful, since a) most people don’t read the display on a printer unless an error occurs, or b) you’re only likely to see it once you’ve already sent something to print. This is not difficult to do, once you know how. It's difficult to see mopy fish in a sentence.If the MOPy fish is neglected and not fed for three weeks, it will fall sick and die. It will, for example, become aggressive if not fed in five days, and may act depressed when starved for as many as tens days.Problems have been seen when running MOPy Fish on Windows XP and above, especially on 64-bit versions of the operating system, which do not support 16-bit software programs.The "' MOPy fish "'is a freeware cyberpet, released in October 1997 for Microsoft Windows by The Global Beach Group on behalf of Hewlett-Packard.However, since MOPy fish is controlled by the operating system calendar, the fish can optionally also be brought back to life by manipulating the computer's date entry.The MOPy fish can remember how it has been treated over the last week, and alters its behavior to correspond with the effort put into its care.First released in 1997, the MOPy fish program holds the Guinness world record for the most downloaded cyberpet.Greganti also offers a download of the original MOPy Fish program and a hack to accumulate points.Based on the blood parrot cichlid fish, the MOPy fish has a complex behavior pattern.Different versions of MOPy fish are still available for download at several websites.
