Oh, you probably do [need it] now, Bj�rge!  :-)

Seriously, I think the jury is telling me pretty clearly that they want
demos, in the form of "nagware."  Currently we have "10 tables for 10
days" function-limited demos (because, practically, time-limits of any
sort are easily bypassed by themselves).  

With "over 2,000 licensees at over 200 companies in over 20 countries,"
this product being our primary means of making a living(!)  -- naturally
we want to do what customers want.  And it has been enormously
interesting, just in the past few days, to ... "ask."  

If ever there was a succint expression of "what is the power of the
World Wide(!) Web" ... this is it.  Thanks!

-Mike
