This reminds me of a demo I'm trying to find.  Saw it in a computer store once,
and the proprietor said "bring in a disk and we'll let you copy it," but they
went out of business (horrors!) before I was able to...

The demo starts out sorta like the description above, EXCEPT that after a
few minutes the flying reflective balls transform into little wing-flapping
"demons!"  There's also a "control menu" that nobody at the store could get
into on purpose, but which two people (and me, once!) got into by accident!

If anybody knows where I could find this, or even what it's called, I'd 
love to hear it.  E-mail please, as I don't get in here (news) very often.

Thanks in advance!
