I think the OLPC is a great new change for the third world kids. Prof Negroponte and the Jeppesen? lady designer deserve all our help to
get this project over the initial hurdles. To see Intel/Micro$haft try to
stifle it is a total disgrace and a telling sign that large (USA) corporations
need to be purged or punished into oblivion.

Thanks for making such a useful feature :)

Did Jim actually demo the ’show source’ key? As the one who made this work in recent builds, it would be gratifying to me if he did. =)
