Display Model from Best Buy Question

So I went to Best buy and they had the Lenovo for 349 that was posted a few days back. They where out but did have the display. I asked to purchase it and got 5%off the price,
Odd I thought it used to be 10% but some Pissy lady got their a few minutes after me and she wanted it also. So I couldn't negotiate on price.
The computer guy took the laptop to the geek squad to get it checked out. So we went to check out some cameras for about an hour. the sales associate came back and he rang up the computer and we where all set.
Sort of, no laptop. the sales guy said that they had to remove the bestbuy demo program and that it was late and it may be till tomorrow. BTW it was only 6pm, so I told him I didn't care since I would be installing WIN7 Ultimate since it was going to Mexico and I needed spanish. He said he would go speak to the manager and sure enough he came back and said no.
he said the Demo program disables the cdrom and blah blah blah so you can't take it home. I told him that it was BS, I just finished my WIN7 class last semester and had my A+ Cert. he said he didn't know but that they would call me tomorrow when it is ready.
I paid for it so technically it is mine and I want my laptop but fine I will pick it up tomorrow.
So, my guess is that they sold my laptop to the pissy lady and are having mine shipped form another local BB. I say this because I heard another sales guy tell the lady that they could have it shipped if she wanted.
Anyone have any idea how long it takes to remove the Best Buy Demo program form a display PC?
And do you guys think that my lappy got sold to the pissy lady?
Thankx
