I think Insignia probably doesn't have access on Internet. Otherwise
we don't have to call them and verify it ourselves. I do think
the site managers should send a join message asking the whoever got
the "demo" should delete it since it's a commerical product, just to
make it official.

Btw, I feel really uncomfortable after I heard the "demo" is indeed
the real thing... not because it's indeed a commerial product being
altered on the window... but I am wondering what else coud have been
altered... could there be a time-bomb of some sort hidden somewhere?
How about some PC virus on it? Or maybe even new Mac virus?  (Ouch!!)

Just some thought.
