(let's see if I can do this without the computer crashing like it did last time I tried to post this!)

I worked in a comic book store for a few years and attended a few trade shows where the subject of a "customer visible" computer came up. The owner would want the customer to see the screen for 2 reasons:
1) an employee can easily show (without inviting the customer behind the counter) products that are available or coming soon to help with getting the customer what they want.
2) the idea that a customer can see what the employee is doing is supposed to prevent the employee from visiting any "non-professional" site (i.e. PORN) while on the job.

Who would work on an image-maybe he just opened it and got called to help someone and forgot to minimize it.

Why send an image-it's cheaper for corporate to make the stores print their own posters (it would be from the local budget) than ship posters (and easier to custumize)

Now here's a side idea: maybe multiple product posters were sent, and "Space Hulk" is a fake among many product fakes and they won't review the real one until GD but all fake and real posters have to be ready the minute the announcement is made.
