In Houston, when Fry's first got the Aquarium, it was one vertical row of about 6 boxes per shelf, 4 shelves. So 24 copies.

Now there are two entire RACKS of 4 shelves, approximately 160 copies. The Aquarium is now about 90% of the 'Screen Savers' section.

Nearly every LCD and CRT monitor is running the Aquarium. I counted approximately 60 displays running the Aquarium. Unfortunately, half of them were running off a woefully underpowered HPQ (Hewlett PaQard) Pavillion so 1024x768 was running about 20-25fps.

I imagine the first person who came up with the term Loss Leader must have been stared at and prescribed medication.
