They had one non functional unit on a rotating display. I was looking at it, and opening and closing it. Just generally checking it out. A "Salesperson" came over and told me not to touch it because the display weighed 250 pounds, and I might knock it down. This display is suspended on 4 steel cables. I don't think that I could knock it down, and if that is possible, they should re-engineer it instead of sending customers away. > > ha ha. The same thing happened to me at Westfield Mall in San Jose, but I wasn't even touching the computer. I may not even have touched the display, but it was the display they said I might knock down. > --
