Well, the "up side" is that Prolific can say that it can be run as a Screen Saver.

I know that the first time I saw the product it was running as a screen saver.

Don't know whether it is possible to know for sure, but I would suspect that more copies of MA have been sold because of its screen saver function than anything else. (Don't know if a poll here would be useful on this or not.)

Heck, CNet catagorizes it as a screen saver: CNet Download.com - Marine Aquarium 3.0 (Most likely because Prolific pronounces it as one), and it has been downloaded 440,000+ times since last November.

In my opinion, the screen saver function should not be underestimated.

And, in the "amazing coincidence" category, I just got (9:00 am this morning) an emal from NOVA selling Marine Aquarium Deluxe 3.0 - "The Most Realistic Aquarium Screensaver" for $19.95!
