Tip #108: Fake it

When giving a demo, especially over the Web, don’t use example data (like addresses and phone numbers) you don’t want to see captured in screenshots and published on the home page of my site.

When I worked at Cognos, all the demos ended up working out so that Dave Mustaine was “the answer.” Always got a giggle from that obviously fake info — not sure how many customers realized the joke.
