Well, they better not even think about public information displays, then. Lets see, for a while I had 240 29" color CRT sets, 40 15" color CRT sets, and at least 60 23" B&W sets, all on 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, and that was just ONE airport terminal!
Some of the 29" and 15" sets have been retired since the peak, though.
