and
> Note that this process will COMPLETELY erase ALL files on your XO!

#1 is from the homepage of Sugar Labs.
#2 is from upgrade instructions to the latest release.
#3 is from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/8.2.0

PS: Also note the terminology we are using "lose all your files": Mommy,
what's a file? How can I tell whether a file is a personal file or not?
Or a file I want to save? You mean I have to page through the entire
history of every program I ever ran on the XO, looking for the "files
I want to save"?
