You want to watch the fish!

Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history. |

I like the clock, I can wait for the fish to catch up to it.

I thought today when I woke up that today would be the day for the MA2. I guess I was wrong.

One thing I thought would have been addressed, but I can't find it explained clearly anywhere: Once Jim's free upgrade comes out, 3D background and all, will the features from MA. 2 be incorporated into it? Or will we choose between one version or the other? I fear having two beautiful programs, each with different features to choose from, and not being able to have them all on the screen at the same time.

Has anyone any idea yet how much the full version of 2.0 is going to be? I purchased the cd rom version 1.1 two weeks ago and would love to use this as my screensaver but i would now rather use 2.0 if it is not so cpu intensive as the 1.1 tends to make my pc a bit hot!

So, conceivably, if you do not upgrade from MA1.1 to MA2 at this time, when the 3D background comes out, you will get MA2 with the new 3D background, but the 5 new fish would be excluded. If you want everything, upgrade from MA1.1 to MA2.
Steven J Lowe said: Not exactly sure what I can release here, but 2.0 will not be more expensive than 1.1 if you are *starting at 2.0*. Also there is some good news coming for recent purchasers of 1.1.

Originally posted by feldon27 I could care less where fish come from. As long as they match the quality that Jim insists on, why not use them? It's my choice to make my aquarium look like 'crap' if I want to, no?
Even if someone unofficially came out with a dozen AWESOME fish, how many people here wouldn't touch it because of their respect for Jim? |

"no matter what it may seem the universe is unfolding as it should" i guess that goes for all things in life. ran across that years and years ago. i think that was a line in something called the "deserderado" [bad spelling]. for some reason that was one of the lines that always stayed with me.....lol......it seems like we get like that spoiled brat in the willie wonka film that goes "i want it, i want it, i want it"....lol

I hope you guys aren't expecting too much from this revision. It's pretty much the same except for the new user interface. Most of the work was done on internal things which would be invisible to the casual user.

and using 5-10% of my CPU.
and being able to run in 32-bit color for those people who have a fast card and prefer their video modes not have to change to run the Aqurium. I have not tested hibernation/sleep, but my monitor does successfully go on standby and then come out of standby without losing the Aquarium.

Hey, if 5 new fish is a bug, then we need more bugs in the SSA.
