I have been an avid user of the Aquarium since version 99J. I stuck with it through all it's revisions and actually survived the "keycode catastrophe" when the final version came out. All and all, I am very happy that I chose to purchase a legal copy. I am concerned however that it has been over 6 months since I have heard anything about the promised updates ie...3D background, more fish, other creatures. The main reason I purchased it is because I felt I would never get bored with it, it sounded like updates would be frequent....not non-exsistant. Now it looks like all of Mr. Sachs efforts have turned towards the freshwater version. Granted, I will probably purchase a copy of it too, but I would like my Saltwater version to be complete first. Before you slam me for not reading the forums....I have scanned over them and I truely believe that my questions have not been answered there. So here they are.
When will the next update to the Saltwater version be released? Will it include the 3-D background? What other fish and or creatures will be included? I would like for Mr. Sachs to answer these questions himself if possible. That way it will cut don on the chances of a new "rumor mill" being created. Thank you. |

I'd answer, but you have specifically asked Jim to.

My plans are no secret and have been covered several times here in the Forum. First, I have to finish the Freshwater Aquarium program, which is heavily underway at this point. After that, I plan on finishing the 3D background for the Saltwater tank, which will be a free upgrade. Next is the first Saltwater Creature Pak, which is not a free upgrade. The list would then continue with the Butterfly Habitat, Freshwater 3D background and Creature Pak, and the other SereneScreen Programs.

Jims
I found out that the saltwater version 1.1 is 1 year old. We all know that you are working on Fleshwater SS but it may take too much time. If I were you, I will release one or two additional fish for saltwater version update. (children don't receive gift but rec'd some candy) I love your work all the time, this is all my personal idea only. Please forgive me. Steve |

It's a shame the Freshwater 3D background has to wait until after the Butterfly Habitat.

I bought the boxed version at Fry's - a couple of weeks
ago. - Its version 1.0. How do I get the upgrade to version 1.1 with the lionfish? - There does not appear to be a way to register the boxed version of this software, which with sales tax was ulmost excactly the same price as the on line version. |

Just download the latest version. Pop in the CD whenever you install an upgrade, and it will act as a Key Code.
