Different versions of Goldfish Aquarium to Purchase

I was going to upgrade my SereneScreen 1.0 to the newest version on the website but then I saw a different version of the screensaver which comes with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. (Its background has a stone block instead of all the coral) How does one go about buying the Media Center version of SereneScreen without buying XP Media Center Edition itself?

You don't. (sorry)
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. 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.

Moved to the Goldfish forum, since the blue gravel and stone block apply to the Goldfish Aquarium.

Couple More Questions Then...

Is the screensaver supplied with XP Media Center Edition 2005 a part of Goldfish Aquarium then?

Is Jim Sachs the creator of Goldfish Aquarium as well?

How is Jim Sachs related to Prolific Publishing?

I'm asking because I'm not sure if I should buy Goldfish Aquarium or wait for SereneScreen 3.

Prolific Publishing handles the manufacturing of the cd versions of Jim's work for him. Jim does the creative process and they handle the distribution.

They also have some people there that have created the goldfish version. Jim did not create it.

As to your choice of which to get, thats up too you. Jim's new version 3 will be totally 3D, not just the fish like the current version. I am sure it will be a sight to see.

Please no one smack me for saying this but... if you need a virtual aquarium to keep you happy until MA3 (you'll want it too), look here.

No seriously, Doc is right. Alan's work is worth mentioning. Its one of the very few that I would recommend, and we have alot of information about it in our other screen savers section. He has done an excellent job on it.

The version of Goldfish Aquarium in XP Media Center Edition is not available anywhere else but in XP Media Center Edition.

Goldfish and Saltwater fish are completely different. Download a demo of Goldfish and Sharks (and also Freshwater) and see what you think.
