I just finished running through the Brick-O-Lizer (and y'all thought the
regular shop.lego.com site was slow! This B-O-L is like molasses!). The
saved GIF is 440x440, but each 10x10 pixel square is a single color. So it
appears that:
1. The image is 44x44 (based on the gif).
2. The border is 2-studs wide (taken directly from the onsite help).
3. This means the product is 48x48, completely filling a large baseplate.
I think Jeff was probably close when he wrote:

So I'm not sure how this all adds up. S@H told me the 1x1 plates come in
90piece bags. To get 1936 plates out of 90-piece bags, you need 22 bags.
This makes 1980 pieces, leaving only 13 pieces for the baseplate and border.
Which isn't enough pieces to make the border, unless they're doing something
odd (new, super-long pieces). So either I misheard my source, or s/he was
mistaken.
Either way, it's a cool way to get a *bunch* of 1x1 plates. :) Too bad they
weren't 1x1 tiles.

| (...) I called S@H, took some poor operator by surprise (in the sense that she had very little information, only that the Brick-o-Lizer was Coming Soon). She says that the pieces come in 90-piece baggies, and *** the pieces are all 1x1 plates. *** (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
