   Folks, take this story as a cautionary tale: 

		Rule 1: Demos Always Fail

I have moved my 500 all around and never, ever seen power supply
problems. Point is, the moment i go to demo it i guess it will
fail. If you want to show your amiga off, ESPECIALLY to people
who might make a purchasing decision, set it up behind closed
doors and make sure it works. People never get over a bad 
first impression, esp. if the machine does not have an 
IBM or Apple logo on it.
