To access these offerings:
Choose one of the demo offerings and wait for a short delay to load its page.
Locate the textfile link in blue at the center of the page, which contains initial access details and passwords pointing to the location of demo scripts on the access server associated with each offering.
Fill out the Details field on the offering's page; if applicable, enter your organization's SF.com opportunity number or personal information as noted.
