demo mode: n. 1. [Sun] The state of being heads down in order
to finish code in time for a demo, usually due yesterday. 2. A
mode in which video games sit by themselves running through a
portion of the game, also known as `attract mode'. Some serious
apps have a demo mode they use as a screen saver, or may go
through a demo mode on startup (for example, the Microsoft Windows
opening screen -- which lets you impress your neighbors without
actually having to put up with Microsloth Windows).
