Mid-Air Success for Boeing Tanker
Thu December 27, 2007
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."

Prolific Publishing releases SereneScreen Marine Aquarium TIME and announces The Great Deal!
Thu April 17, 2003
Prolific Publishing, the maker of the blockbuster hit SereneScreen Marine Aquarium, adds to its product line up the much anticipated release of SereneScreen Marine Aquarium TIME.

Marine Aquarium TIME has a "crystal" embedded within the coral in the aquarium. On the crystal, we have "etched" and alternately cycle, a Tiffany-style clock, a calendar, and a day-date-time page, synchronized to your computer. Your computer can now tell time in a compelling and beautiful way! View just one of the different etchings, or set it to cycle through all three.

With 21 fish, TIME has all the same functions of SereneScreen Marine Aquarium. Please visit to www.SereneScreen.com to find all the information plus screen shots of this new release. TIME is priced at $19.95.

Along with the release of SereneScreen Marine Aquarium TIME, Prolific announces The Great Deal. If you purchase SereneScreen Marine Aquarium v2.0, you can buy Marine Aquarium TIME, for half price! Pay only $29.95 for both products. Plus, as a gift to our registered users of Aquarium v2.0, we are offering TIME for $9.95, for a limited time.

Users may now enjoy the expanded livestock configurations these five new fish provide.

Prolific, responding to user demand, has created a user interface that presents interesting facts about each fish. Just click on a fish and learn its name, its scientific name, where in the world you would swim into one of them, and its size and dietary habits.

Marine Aquarium Shown at Computer Electronics Show
Sun January 13, 2002
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.




Windows XP Plus! News
Tue October 23, 2001
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.




"Boxed Version" News
Tue October 23, 2001
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.




SereneScreen Marine Aquarium Version 99L Released
Wed July 18, 2001
Prolific Publishing, Inc. releases the new 99L version of SereneScreen Marine Aquarium.

The new features include:

  • New Starfish
  • New Koran Angelfish
  • New Three-Stripe Damselfish
  • Improved Queen Angelfish
  • Improved Flame Angelfish
  • A Volume Control bar
  • Light and shadows now realistically radiate from the bubble column
  • An "EnergyStar" button so that the Aquarium prevents your monitor from going to sleep when enabled.
  • "Always on Top" changed to apply to Windowed Mode




Updated Free Demo
Sun June 3, 2001
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.




16:9 Widescreen Aquarium
Fri June 1, 2001
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).




SereneScreen Aquarium V99K Released
Fri May 11, 2001
SereneScreen Marine Aquarium version 99K released.

The new features include:

  • New Regal Angelfish
  • New Blue Damselfish
  • Improved Picasso Triggerfish
  • An "Always on Top" button so that the Aquarium is always visible in windowed mode. (As always, press the "F" key to put the Aquarium in windowed mode.)
  • A "Don't Duplicate Random Fish" button which insures that no two random fish are the same
  • Different sound
  • Improved timing on the automatic lighting changes, so that it works the same on all processors


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.
