[Deptheads]space and exposure

[Janice Sellers]

Except for the fact that, as I said (and as you even quoted below),
the dealers didn't want the demos at their dealer tables.  So
apparently there's a lot to be said for it except from the people whom
you are saying should be the ones excited about it.

While it might be nice to have a demo room, open gaming areas suit
that purpose to some degree.  Perhaps one thing we could do with a
demo table outside the dealer room (cut down from one, as per recent
discussion with Eric A.) is utilize it more effectively by (1) signage
and (2) actual scheduling, based on what is submitted to the events
database.
