View Source question

[Todd Cranston-Cuebas]

OK, I'll jump in here. Sometimes you do things for no reason other than it
sells. OK, there may be limited practical application of the view source
button but honestly, I fully expected to see it running and live in the XO
that I received after doing the G1G1 program. It was actually a let down to
see that it's really more hype than reality. As a part-time coder with a
young child, I was hoping to show how there is the inner workings to the
computer. Kind of like the fascination shown when I pull open the back of my
vintage pocket watch. There's something under the "pretty face" of the XO
and it should be shown if only to entice kids to dig deeper.
