Nope, I checked that possibility. The "demo" version has a serial number of all "9999", while the archives copy has a serial number of AT-29002409/001. The Insignia tech support people personally confirmed to me that this copy had indeed been sold commercially. It is not a demo. It is a fully-functional copy sold commercially. The existance of the salesmen's demo is irrelevent, since this is not such a thing. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Charlie Mingo Internet: mingo@well.sf.ca.us 2209 Washington Circle #2 CIS: 71340,2152 mingo3@aol.com Washington, DC 20037 AT&T: 202/785-2089 mingo@world.std.com
