Goldfish Aquarium on a 55" HDTV at CompUSA

I had never been in a Fred Meyer before I started going to Oregon. Really strange store. They've got everything. It's great if you happen to need a crescent wrench, a wedding ring, and an avocado.  
This weekend I was looking at a Sony 55-inch HDTV hooked up to an HP media center PC which runs Windows XP. So I sat down in the nice leather chair, grabbed the Bluetooth keyboard, and proceeded to check out the Desktop properties. Darned if it wasn't almost exactly 1920x1080. Darned if the Goldfish Aquarium screen saver wasn't loaded up.

SWEET! It does look SO nice on a 55-inch HDTV screen! Jim they are selling $3000 HDTV sets using Goldfish Aquarium. You are famous!

And you're right - even at 55-inches the aquarium still only holds five fish comfortably
Reasons people don't watch Star Trek:
60% - It’s for nerds.
39% - The show’s stupid.
01% - My parents were killed by Klingons and it's still too painful.
