If this is Ellen, then I can save a phone call.

V1.0 is not quite ready yet, but there have been many updates over the past year, always announced with great fanfare on the website. The latest is always available as a free download on the Purchase page of the SereneScreen.com website. You can go to it directly from here: http://www.serenescreen.com/download/Aquarium99L.exe .

trailkill, Jim finished working on version 1 a while ago but Prolific who made an installer for the aquarium still work on getting the installer to fit on a floppy disk (initially the aquarium with the installer were more than 5 MB). They mentioned it will be ready within two days three weeks ago but nothing yet...

Thanks Jim and pipeta, I have the lastest 99L.
I'll just have to wait.

Thanks again

1.0 adds no new features except better password protection on Windows 95, 98, and ME.

Just a note to clarify why v1.0 can't be put up on the website yet:

The program itself and installer are completely finished, but v1.0 uses a totally different Key Code system. The idea has always been to have a button on the website which will allow current users to upgrade painlessly. This means that software must exist to automatically match the user to our database through his name, Key Code, order number, date of purchase, or any other evidence that he's a legal user. This is not trivial software to create, and is taking longer than Prolific had hoped.

I am glad you said that Jim, because we started suspecting Prolific's abilities. Now that we know what they are working on we can rejoice (or not).
Hope it will be ready soon...

I was biting my tongue thinking, "geez 3 weeks for one simple installer??"

I'm glad to hear the aquarium is in better hands than that.

As I said, the program and installer are completely finished. The program fits on a floppy.
