There is a possiblity that what was seen was one of the oncue demo programs. I
had a copy of it for quit a while. It is totally functional AS LONG AS YOU
DON'T TURN YOUR MACHINE OFF. It will then "forget" all of its settings.

There were a couple people at work t hat used it like this since they would
configure it when they first turn their machine on (it is very fast to
configure -- nice interface), then they just would not turn their machines off!

I thought that it was a neet idea for demo "protection". Put just enough of a
nuisance into the program and leave the rest fully functional. That way the
people using it, get hooked on the product and then eventually get frustrated
enough to buy it :-)
