Bela Lubkin summarized some of the 800 line success stories and added the

Well, I have a better idea.  Why, oh why, doesn't Commodore select a demo,
ANY demo, package it on a separate WorkBench disk and ENCOURAGE all dealers
to BOOT WITH THE D*MNED THING.  I too am sick and tired of seeing the good
old workbench hand saying -- I don't know how to do anything else, please
help!

Just think of how many Amigas would be up and running something if all the
dealer had to do is put in a DEMO disk provided by Commodore.  And, just think
of how many Amigas could be sitting under the Christmas tree come Christmas
morning running an impressive demo.  Zow!  Sounds like sales to me.
