I don't think it's idiocy and I certainly won't lambaste you, but I wouldn't expect a company with rapidly changing technologies or products to keep demos of their historic product lines. I don't have any special (or any) knowledge of the practice, and you could very well be right. I could certainly be wrong, but it's not something I'D assume.
