SERENESCREEN mention on TechTV

Hey folks,

I don't know how often they're repeating it, but I just caught a short piece on the SereneScreen Aquarium on TechTV (check your cable or satellite service).

There were some factual errors on the show, and unfortunately they didn't show the widescreen version on their 16:9 flat screen TV, but it was nice to see the Aquarium running on television and to hear lots of things said about it.

Some of the errors/omissions:

One of the guys said that a fast 3D card is required and that a GeForce is fine, but a TnT card won't do the trick. I am quite happy with the Aquarium on my TnT Riva 16mb, and it works even better on a TnT Riva 2.

He mentioned 7 fish. If he scrolled up he'd note there are 20 fish total, 7 on screen at once.

He once said that the program is $15. It is in fact $20 for the full version.

Also, it says SereneScreen in the notes at the bottom of the screen, but he mentioned Fish-Byte.com as the address to download it.

For anyone curious, they were demonstrating version .99Lb2 of the Aquarium and they showed wireframe mode, which will certainly sell a lot more copies.
