  demo
       
          /de'moh/ 1. A demonstration of a product, often of an early
          version or prototype.  A demo is a far more effective way of
          inducing bugs to manifest themselves than any number of test
          runs, especially when important people are watching.
       
          2. demo version.
       
          3. A program written to demonstrate the programmer's coding
          ability and/or the power of the computer it runs on.  Such
          demos are nearly always written in machine code and
          traditionally feature scrolling text about the author, his
          friends, his code and anything else he fancies and animated
          graphics.

From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) :   [ jargon ]

  demo /de'moh/ [short for `demonstration'] 1. v. To demonstrate a
     product or prototype. A far more effective way of inducing bugs to
     manifest than any number of test runs, especially when important
     people are watching. 2. n. The act of demoing. "I've gotta give a demo
     of the drool-proof interface; how does it work again?" 3. n. Esp. as
     `demo version', can refer either to an early, barely-functional version
     of a program which can be used for demonstration purposes as long as the
     operator uses _exactly_ the right commands and skirts its numerous bugs,
     deficiencies, and unimplemented portions, or to a special version of a
     program (frequently with some features crippled) which is distributed at
     little or no cost to the user for enticement purposes. 4. [{demoscene]
     A sequence of demoeffects (usually) combined with self-composed music
     and hand-drawn ("pixelated") graphics. These days (1997) usually built
     to attend a compo. Often called `eurodemos' outside Europe, as most of
     the demoscene activity seems to have gathered in northern Europe and
     especially Scandinavia. See also intro, dentro.
