You're just a lounge lizard at heart, aren't you? :P

This is a very good point.  Due to a lot of factors, it's still a hard
sell to bring new manufacturers to the con, particularly as dealers.
I think that's one reason the free demo tables aren't as popular in
the dealer room as a lot of us think they should be -- they're usually
a vehicle for manufacturers, not retailers.  The one retailer that had
one was trying to fob free retail space; it'll be interesting to see
what Gameology does with his demo table, if he opts for one at Gamex.
