If you come across a 2.0 machine with a biggg drive, check
out the GuidedTour demo---its essentially a sales rep bundled
with the computer. Really great. _Buyers_ love it.

However, the sales clerks at the bookstore don't care for
it (they don't seem to voluntarily play it). Probably because
it makes them look bad! (no smiley!)

That demo alone should sell a few thousand boxes. Now if NeXT
would just bundle bookstore _managers_ with the machines
(Hey---I'm joking ok! see: 100x :-)
