Professor Randy Pausch died today of complications revolving around his pancreatic cancer. He was an amazing individual and if you haven't seen his the "Last Lecture" given at Carnegie Mellon University, sit down for the next 76 minutes and be inspired with just about everything.
Jim Sachs, the wonderful creator and artist behind Marine Aquarium was able to gift the professor the screensaver back in February of this year. Apparently he loved it.

The moment of truth arrived this year for the Boeing KC-767 aerial refueling tanker. During a four-hour flight over Southern California, the tanker successfully transferred 10,000 pounds of fuel to another aircraft. Prolific's technology played a key role in Boeing winning orders from both the Italian and Japanese governments.
Prolific's technology is also enabling Boeing to contend for a multi-billion dollar contract to supply these advanced KC-767 tankers to the U.S. Air Force. Dubbed the KC-X Competition, with a decision being made later this summer, Boeing is ready to compete says William Barksdale, tanker communications manager. "These [tanker air crews] depend on technology that is real. We are obviously very serious about this. The bottom line is that we believe a Boeing tanker will best meet America's national security needs for refueling and cargo."

It's time to get some fresh virtual fish food; we are rolling out version 1.1 of Jim Sach's SereneScreen
Aquarium on Wednesday, February 20th. This full version fixes many minor issues, but better yet, we are including a bonus! Jim has just
finished the creation of a new critter, the Red Volitan Lionfish.
SereneScreen Marine Aquarium was shown recently at the 2002 CES just before Bill Gates took stage. The crowd was comprised of the industries moguls mixed with the techno groupies and other average nerd citizens. While awaiting the arrival of the keynote speaker, Bill Gates, Microsoft attempted to impress the throng with Microsoft's stunning new triumph, SereneScreen Marine Aquarium. The program was running on three massive television screens towering high overhead, all showing the three fish version of the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium from Prolific Publishing, Inc. and Jim Sachs. Microsoft lays claim to the program since the XP version is currently included in the Windows XP plus pack from Microsoft.
SereneScreen Marine Aquarium will get a major boost in public exposure thanks to a licensing deal struck this summer with Microsoft. Microsoft Plus for Windows XP, the companion software to Microsoft's flagship new Windows XP operating system, will include a special 3 fish version of SereneScreen Marine Aquarium. Also, new computers from all major manufacturers that include Windows XP also have this 3 fish version of the Aquarium. All of these users will be provided an opportunity to purchase the full 20 fish version of the Aquarium.
Prolific Publishing has been putting the finishing touches on version 1.0 of SereneScreen Marine Aquarium and we're happy to announce that the boxed retail version of the Marine Aquarium should be appearing in retail stores near you in 4-6 weeks. The artwork for the box and CD packaging materials has been sent to the printers and they have started production. You will hear it here first when 1.0 is made available.
Prolific just updated the free demo version to use the same amount of video memory as the real version. On some systems, the old demo would run, but the real version needed more RAM. This should eliminate that problem.
There is now a wide screen version of the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium available to Deluxe Key holders. This is a special version with 16:9 ratio resolutions for plasma displays and wide screen monitors. If you would like the wide screen version, send e-mail with your name and Deluxe Key Code (or order number) to Service@serenescreen.com, and we will reply with the download link. (Note: If you have a normal 4:3 ratio monitor, just use the regular version of the Aquarium. If you don't know if your monitor is wide screen, then it is not.)
The wide screen version is a completely separate program. It does not share Registry settings or anything else with the normal version. Because of the extra graphics, it needs more video ram than the regular version. So if you have a low-end card which can't run the regular Aquarium at a resolution higher than 800x600, the wide screen version may not work.
On a different topic, a few people seem to be a little confused about the "Always On Top" button in the Settings screen. When this is activated, the Aquarium window will always be visible on top of other windows on your desktop when in windowed mode. If you are in full screen mode, then it does nothing since the screen is already on top. As always, just press the "f" key to put the Aquarium in a window (assuming your desktop is in 16-bit color).

Prolific Publishing is now taking over this website,
and the distribution of the Aquarium. This will allow me to spend more time on development, and less time looking up lost Key Codes.
If you are ordering a Key Code, it will be displayed on the last screen of the ordering process. Please write it down in case the e-mail doesn't get through. The message from Orders is only a note from the credit card company, and does not contain your Key Code.
If you ordered a Key Code, and did not see it on the screen, please send a message to Service@serenescreen.com with the details of your purchase. We will look up your records and send you your Key Code.

Prolific signs famous
hyper-realistic computer artist Jim Sachs
to multi-title
publishing deal. The SereneScreen series of software
products will first feature the SereneScreen Aquarium , an amazing and original
Aquarium simulator. See for yourself and download the
demo. Take a look at this incredible Fan Site .
Dreamwork's new CG animated adventure "Shrek" which opens at theaters;May 2001, also makes it's debut as "Shrek Fairy Tale Freakdown" on Nintendo's Game Boy Color, developed by Prolific. Play one of the many characters from the movie in hand to hand battle. See screen shots.
The Fan Site is really booming. I don't run this myself, but it's a handy place for Aquarium users to voice their opinions and answer each other's questions.
I have been hearing a lot about how good the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium looks with the ELSA Revelator 3D glasses, so I bought a pair. With a little tweaking of the settings, the 3D effect is really quite amazing. These glasses come with
high-end nVidia cards, but can be purchased separately at many on-line retailers for about $40. Your video card and monitor must support a refresh rate of 120 fps to use these glasses. (The SereneScreen Marine Aquarium animation doesn't have to run that fast, just the monitor.)
Many people ask what the best graphics card is for running the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium. Most high-end cards like the ATI 128-bit and Radeon, 3Dfx VooDoo cards, and nVidia TNT and GeForce cards will produce stunning performance. But the best value-per-dollar may be the nVidia Vanta LT. I've seen this card advertised on-line for as little as $32, yet it runs the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium at over 40 frames-per-second with all 7 fish turned on. This card also comes in the $700 e-Machines computers available at Costco. Note: it is EXTREMELY important to use the very latest drivers for all of these cards. The video card companies have made major changes in their drivers recently, especially for DirectX 8 support.
Jim Sachs just spent all night putting together a new page for this site. If you are interested, click the "About the Author" on the navigation bar on the left.
A few people also seem to think that the Aquarium is some kind of subscription service for which they would get periodic bills. The Aquarium is one self-contained file. The program is downloaded over the Internet, but once it is copied to your computer, no other Internet connection is needed. You may use the Demo version forever without registering, if you want to. If you wish register, it is a one-time charge, and once you are in our database, you may download future versions for free.
Fish-byte.com has now been officially changed to serenescreen.com. The reason for the name change will become obvious
over the next few years. The fish-byte.com URL will point to the new address.
The Aquarium will soon be going through very heavy testing on a large number of configurations by a major software company, which will remain nameless (but starts with an M ). This should shake out any remaining bugs which might be lurking in Win2000 or Win ME.
A lot of people would like to see the plants and sea anenomes moving slightly. So would I! This is extremely difficult to do, but I am working on it. Many things that are already going on in the Aquarium are almost impossible. That is why you haven't seen anything like this before, even from the major programming power-houses. I am just a lone artist with no formal training in programming at all, so don't ask for too much :) Please remember that this program is in Beta-test form, and I only meant it to go out to a few dozen 3D fanatics for testing, not over a million people!
3Dfx sent me a VooDoo 5500 card, so I can do some first-hand testing. They just posted new drivers for VooDoo 4 and 5 series recently, and Aquarium owners have reported that the new drivers work very well.
I have mentioned that the Aquarium does not usually run on notebook computers, but I have found one that actually produces 20 frames-per-second at 1024x768. It's the Compaq Presario 17XL series (though any notebook with the Rage Mobility chip or the S3 Savage chip will probably work). I have also been informed the higher-end IBM notebook computers, like the A20p, work very well. The Aquarium does NOT run on Sony VAIO notebooks, and possibly the IBM Thinkpad 600. (Late news: the very latest VAIO notebooks, shipped in the last 2 months, may work.)
