After seeing Lewin's original post, I thought that the sheep would

be ideal for a trade promotion, actually my companies stand at DECUS World95

the DEC Users Society Exhibition in Darling Harbour. You would be surprised

as to how popular the sheep are. Granny May's were sold out, with orders

to fill in many locations. We had to drive 50km to get a couple that were

just in that day. Apart from the blow up variety, the more conventiional

(i.e less featured models) available from shop display fitters, such as

DisplayScene in Sydney, were also sold out or unhireable.



Lewin has educated us in Fidonet to a phenomena that exists in Australian

life that most of us were previously ignorant. As a sales tool, at the show

they were very sucessful. We could have sold them many times over.
