Re: Wishlist

Some of you seem to be under the impression that the hard copy version would be distributed on floppies. The hard-copy version has always been planned to be distributed on CD.

The main way of distributing the Aquarium will remain downloading. Any type of hard-copy is only a snapshot of the program at the moment it is made, and would almost certainly be outdated by the time the user receives it. Downloading over the Internet is the only way anyone could keep up with the rapid improvements I have planned.

The reasons for the ability to fit the Aquarium on a floppy remain:
1. Rapid download for those of us stuck with 56k modems for the foreseeable future.
2. Ease of transfer from one machine to another without a CD-ROM burner, Zip drive or other big-ticket device.
