It about 20 years ago, and this pilot fish travels around the United States demonstrating his company network computer at trade shows.The device,& says fish, &was basically a dumb terminal connected to a PC server instead of a mainframe, and therefore capable of serving up Windows and web applications.
Since the product was small and easy to miss, I would always attach an impressive 17-inch LCD flat-screen monitor that retailed for $2,000.In 1998, most people have never seen a flat-screen monitor, so conference attendees regularly flock to fish booth at the exhibit hall.
After answering a few basic questions about the display, fish would shift customers& attention to the network computer beside it and go into his spiel.
The approach works every time, until fish works a government industry conference in Washington, D.C.
