All download version purchasers of the Aquarium from .996 through 1.1.2 are entitled to a free upgrade to MA2.0 for the next 90 days. After that time, if you purchased the Aquarium after February 22nd, 2002, the upgrade will be $5.95.

If you purchased the PC or Mac Aquarium retail boxed version, you will be able to upgrade to MA2.0 for $5.95. This upgrade will be available at SereneScreen.com soon.

The 3D background will still be a free upgrade (subject to an as yet undetermined future purchase deadline?). 'Regular' fish that Jim produces would probably be free upgrades as well.

Fish produced/created by Prolific and Creature Packs by Jim S. will cost extra.

<tr><td><center><b>Monitor Negotation</b></center>

Marine Aquarium 2.0 accesses DirectX using all the correct/documented function calls as prescribed by Microsoft. This may result in an increased number of "clicks" of the relay in your monitor as this negotiation is taking place, especially if you are running your display in 32 bit color and the Aquarium is set to 16 bit color.

One solution is to set the Aquarium to also run in 32-bit color and/or your Desktop Resolution.

If you are experiencing more than 6 clicks and you feel it is a serious issue, please e-mail me.

The Aquarium has been tested on hundreds of systems, so this should be not be a widespread issue.</td></tr>
