I have exactly the same experience. In the 'Computer Center' that
existed here in Eindhoven they allowed me to sit there whole day and let
me play with their systems. On saturdays I came in at 8 in the morning
and left at 6 pm. During holidays we could even be there for whole weeks.

The salesman even liked our (a few others as well!) presence because we
could answer all kind of questions his customers had.

Anyway, after a year the Center got a 2nd salesman who disliked our
unprofessional presence and kicked us all out. That must have been in
'79...
