	Memory fault:  I quote from the rules:

	"Each demo shall have five minutes to load, and 60 seconds to run.
If it does not terminate of its own accord by this time, it should have
clearly indicated a method of termination, and it will be ended."

	I interpreted this to mean that loops are permitted, as long as
there's an obvious way to break out back to a working WorkBench or CLI.
Hence, Marketroid loops, with a message in the main title screen telling you
how to exit.

	Just a clarification.
