Marine Aquarium 3 Comments & Appreciation - Page 8

WHEW! I just read this whole thread from the beginning! One thing that impresses me is how much attention Jim pays to people who post stuff. Not only does he reply, but he in one case, mentioned the topic was in another thread, YET he still answered again. Now that, considering all that's invovled (time wise) in making the screensaver, is amazing. Talk about customer care!!!!

Anyway, I got 2.6 tonight so I'd have the key for MA3. Also, it's incredibly fun to see the developement of the screensaver as it progresses! Listening to Jim talk about the furture endeavors he's going to be adding to the tank... whoa... talk about anticipation!

Anywho... that's it. ARE WE HAVING FUN YET!!!!

Thanks, Mith. We're on a quick vacation right now but I try to log on at least once a day. Driving from Boston to Montreal today.

Enjoy the trip to Canada Jim and take a well earned rest.

Hard to relax on the road here. I thought it would be all laid-back / Martha Stewart / antique-shopping drivers, but noooo. The speed limit's 35, I'm going 70, and there's always a car glued to my bumper. Seriously - so close I can't even see their headlights in my mirror because they are below my trunk. That's how it's been about 80% of the time. And when there's a yellow light a half-block ahead, which will be red LONG before I get there, these soccar-moms on my bumper swoop around me to run the red light, causing cross-traffic hyper-caffienated group to slam on their brakes. If I ever need to be reminded why I live in Southern Oregon, I just need to take a trip like this.

..and you are typing that as you drive...? LOL

Good luck, especially with the French-Canadians, they drive fast.

I haven't been to Montreal in 20 years. It's where my mother, father, and 2 brothers were born.

Ex_Brit · 10-31-2008, 11:02 AM

It's been years since I was there too. Enjoy!

Mith · 10-31-2008, 06:52 PM

For poop sakes Jim... ENJOY YOUR VACATION AND FORGET OUT US FOR A WHILE!... LOL

We'll be just fine amongst ourselves!!!! If you're reading this... YOUR VIOLATING MY ORDERS!

Hope you have fun and hopefully you only read this when you return. Gonna post pictures of your trip??? Hmmm:????

Jim Sachs · 10-31-2008, 08:07 PM

I'm in Montreal now, typing with difficulty on a French keyboard. Couldn't buy the replacement Casio Exilim before we left, so no pictures on this trip. Weather is good.

You can buy throw away cameras at just about any milk/drug store, if you really want to take pictures.

LOL. I know it does sound a bit in the "how the mighty have fallen" department, but it was only a suggestion.

You ever make it to NYC Jim?

Tiny Turtle · 11-03-2008, 08:14 AM

Shouldn't you be ROBinNYC?

I run 4 x 20" widescreen monitors 1680x1050. Two monitors operate from a XFX Nvidia 9800GT and the other two run from a Nvidia 9600GT. The system is Vista SP1 3.1ghz overclocked to 4.2Ghz. Both GPU cards are clocked.
the saver FPS is 87

the screens are setup into a rectangle shape, 2 above 2 below.

the screensaver so far works fantastic so add those 2 graphic setups to your ok list.

great work. my kids love it.

Edgar · 11-03-2008, 11:58 PM

Wow! I would love to see a picture of that setup.
