Demo Hell

If I die and go to hell, I know what it's going to be like: It's going to be me all alone in a dark room, trying to get IBM Commonstore for Lotus Domino working (on a machine that somebody else installed) with the demo perpetually three hours off.

You are in a dark room. There is a laptop here.

> Examine laptop

The laptop is a small, black IBM Thinkpad. It is displaying some sort of set up screen.

> Examine set up screen

The set up screen says "IBM Commonstore for Lotus Domino Set Up. Commonstore has been installed. Please click OK to reboot your computer."

> Click OK

Did you get it to work? Personally, I'd want to brain whoever told me to do a demo using a laptop upon which the necessary software had been installed by someone else. Especially with the installation as much fun as you told me it is.
