   The BADGE Killer Demo Contest demos were intended exactly for the
purpose you mention, to help dealers and others show off their Amigas.  If
you don't have them, get them.  Fish Disks are a good source.
   On the subject of demos, I'm surprised there aren't more dealers who
face a monitor towards the front window or door (most seem to hide the
machines in the back room--at least in the four or five areas where I've
snooped around Amiga dealers even as far afield as Denmark and Norway, they 
were far from the windows).  Half the battle is getting people to see and
RECOGNIZE the machine and getting them into the store to look at it in the
first place.  I can't see it being for security purposes, computer stores
are clearly identified as computer stores, so potential thieves know what's
in there and near a window doesn't have to mean near a door; glare is not
too much of a factor in malls, or stores with awnings ...
