Story:
1. Some friends and I were poking around Tysons Corner Mall here in Va.  
last night
and the two Amigoids(myself and a friend) naturally gravitated towards
WaldenSoftware where we were quite gratified to see "Blood Money" up and
running on a 500 and a crowd of people gathered around, gawking at the 
screen and the music. My friend and I took this as an opportunity to do a 
little soapbox-ing and probably convinced a few people right on the spot.
I was pretty impressed that they had the machine right out front and well 
exposed with the promo lit racks filled and an ami-knowledgeable staff on 
hand.

---At least some people are trying to help.
