We should demonstrate a box that has been crippled up by using a 'run
from CD' system or one that hasn't been carefully setup and configured
so that everthing works right.
3D accel, sound, cd writer and software, browser, wheel mouse and
anything we could think of and get going. This probably means one of us
should set up the box ahead of time.
