I would be more heartened by this if the same thing hadn't happened at 
WAACE.  Atari, for some strange reason, had some Falcons which were
distributed to some developers and taken elsewhere by Reebok sent and
stored at Toad for the week before WAACE.  Toad had the Falcon030 boxes
in plain sight all through WACCE but they weren't TOAD's and they weren't 
for sale.  In fact I heard the Toad guy uh...the best term is "whining" to
Bill Reebok that they ought to be able to keep one of them.  Since some of
them were marked samples, this might just be the same sort of thing.

Did you ask if they were for sale?
