Now, hang on a second there chief.  A demo is certainly not a useless 
piece of software.  It's a lot like writing a song.  Demo writers are 
indeed artists, and watching TONS of demos (like my friends and I do) is 
no different than listening to music and saying "These guys rock!"  I 
think we are all privelaged to have a group of demo writers who are still 
using the GS as their artistic medium.  To me, and I know there are 
others out there like myself, from the 80's generation when analog 
synthesizers were new and fresh and computers were actually cool, demos 
are one of THE most important types of software out there.  It allows an 
artist to show off his work, and it allows ALL of us to show off the GS!

NinjaForce:  Keep up the great work!  I absolutely loved the music in 
megademo!  I know you guys are a tad bit weary on the whole secondsight 
deal, but stick with it for awhile.  I'd love to see a ninjaforce demo 
showing off the SS!

Agreed.  I'm actually using a May beta release of win95 on my p-75 
(sidekick to the GS), and it's real nice and all, but plug'n'play?  hehehe
Actually I think it's plug -n- pray.
