Unfortunately if I am reading what you are saying correctly, you can't get there from here, and you have Micro$oft to blame for it. The version included on the Plus pack is not the full version, it is a 3 fish Demo only that Micro$oft forced Jim to make. He gets no revenue from this at all. It was intended as a Demo only and Micro$oft was supposed to tell people this. Instead they raised the price of the Plus Pack and told no one. I am sure Jim will address your concerns when he next arrives here. |

I hope oh Jim, can help me out. 30.00 bucks for the Superpak then 6.00 bucks for the upgrade??? You'd think somewhere they ( Microsnott, as one of my buddies calls them. he-heee) write on the box, that it was a demo???

Fortunately, with the Plus! pack you got more than just the MA demo. The Space screensaver is quite good IMO, and some of the other stuff is fun also. Personally, I wouldn't buy Plus! now if I had my druthers, but when I bought my first computer I was a real n00b. You can get an update for Plus!

Correct me if I am wrong, but he paid 30.00 bucks for the Superpak which only contains the demo version, then he paid 6.00 bucks for the upgrade but that doesn't help him at all, right? He should have bought the full version at full price? Is that it?

You cannot go from Plus! to Marine Aquarium for $5.95. You have to pay the full

The price of the Aquarium is $19.95, not $21.95. The upgrade is for people who had the original 1.0 version and want to get the 2.0 version.
We have nothing to do with the Microsoft Plus Pack. We get no money from it, and MS didn't even ask me when they put it in the new Superpack. I'll contact Prolific and see if they can do something about the money you paid to upgrade something which can't be upgraded.

This is not in any way a defense of Micro$oft, but if it hadn't been for the Plus! pack, I doubt I would have ever been exposed to the MA demo.

This situation is messed up, and M$ needs to pay the piper. Prolific should give people the product, and M$ should pay Prolific for the product. Maybe in reverse order.
