Brief demonstrations

[Ralph Copleman]

Joe Bowers, Harrison and all,

I agree that doing an OS demonstration is challenging.  I did a 90-minute
version once for a group of colleagues.  Had three 20-minute sessions
squeezed in.  It was awful.  Everybody looked bored.  Never again.

On the other hand, I did a 30-minute thing for a client once involving the
top 20 managers in an American airline company.  They kept pressing me for
an explanation, so during a break I hurriedly made the posters and stuck
them on the walls.  Then I reconvened everyone in a circle and did the
opening.  That's all.  No postings.  No actual open space.

They loved it.  A month later I was doing a one-day event for them to
explore their frequent-flier program, customers included.
