[@TheSamDickey]

Ywnm Think of a computer as a company with its own art department. When people in the company want a piece of artwork, they send a request to the art department. The art department decides how to create the image and then puts it on paper. The end result is that someone's idea becomes an actual, viewable picture. A graphics card works along the same principles. The CPU, working in conjunction with software applications, sends information about the image to the graphics card. The graphics card decides how to use the pixels on the screen to create the image. It then sends that information to the monitor through a cable. ­ Creating an image out of binary data is a demanding process. To make a 3-D image, the graphics card first creates a wire frame out of straight lines. Then, it rasterizes the image (fills in the remaining pixels). It also adds lighting, texture and color. For fast-paced games, the computer has to go through this process about sixty times per second. Without a graphics card to perform the necessary calculations, the workload would be too much for the computer to handle.

Yes the original Big Mouth Billy Bass introduced In 1999 came with two songs it could sing, “Don’t Worry Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin and “Take Me to the River” by Al Green.

One motor for both tial and head. The motor can be run clockwise and anti-clockwise. Some clever gearing distinguishes between the directions and controls each movement individually. The movements return to their neutral position on their own with a spring; at least they're supposed to. The head doesnt seem to work particularly well.

Based off of older fish I've fixed this is how it is. It might be different since this is the newer one but let me explain. The 9 tooth gear in the motor makes both head and tail move. The gear spins one way to move the head and the other way to move the tail. Im not sure on how to explain how it works in the gearbox but thats just simplified. The mouth motor is where you pointed it at and it is also moved with a 9 or 10 tooth gear.
