ok seems like most Apple stores have a satisfactory attitude towards display. But how many people (especially outside the US) have a chance to go to an Apple store?

I suppose most of the cases I had in mind were resellers - since those are most likely where you will see a mac for the first time unless you are lucky enough to live near an Apple store. In my case - there is one Apple store in Japan (Tokyo) and another opening soon in Osaka. Both of those are so far away from me - I could probably fly to Seoul faster than I could get to Toyko...

BUT around where I live there are at least 2 really good (as in size wise) Apple resellers - one has the entire top floor of a large electronics department store devoted to macs.

These are the kinds of places I mean. Surely Apple can implement some kind of reseller display / demo policy too? I mean, its in their best interest after all. When I walk around these resellers, I see lots of nice macs, but nothing is on screen, nothing is being demo-ed and you just see a lot of people walking around, circling the mouse for a bit and then walking off...
