version or prototype. A demo is a far more effective way of
inducing bugs to manifest themselves than any number of
testruns, especially when important people are watching.

ability and/or the power of the computer it runs on. Such
traditionally feature scrolling text about the author, his
friends, his code and anything else he fancies and animated
graphics.
