People download 703 and install it on their XO or run it in the
emulator. And it's completely useless until they grab Bert script to
download the activities (or get them in some other way). I had to
guide someone through that process just yesterday and I can tell it
was really confusing him.

But feel free to disregard the problem, if it makes you feel better.
