Leave it alone. Seriously. Once I got my Paris computer working properly, I
didn't touch it for 4 years and it ran great the whole time as long as I
wasn't asking it to perform unnatural acts with other DAWs.

They may have been tagged for violating state franchise laws...
they are, in fact, a manufacturer/wholesaler, as opposed to a
retailer - it's OK to let a scant few demo items go to the end-
user under those circumstances, but if you start selling in
volume without being licensed as a retailer, some states tend to
want to fine you for that (esp if they weren't collecting state
taxes for the state said NAMM show in question was held in).

There was a time where, as Neil suggested, they used to sell
all the floor samples... often in the first few minutes of
the show! :-) Good reason to get there early! Lately, you
will find instruments being sold, but not the hardware. I
still see the same pieces (with the same scuff marks) in the
racks that were there last year and the year before that.
