Therre is such a demo that I've seen in Bay Area Stores.  And it's not bad.
But if someone walks off with the disk, it reverts back to the blue screen
with a requester -"You must insert Dealer Demo in Unit 0!".  Also I
observed people watching the demo.  The demo is floppy based with music,
it puts up a "please wait information loading" screen between anim and 
musical segments.  Every person I saw left when that came up, it's too long
of a wait to hold someones interest, gives the impression of a slow screen.
 
I assume this came from Commodore.  Why can't they provide a self booting,
locked A590 and A500 with a rotating demo to each store?
