[osflash] New design

[Cortlandt Winters]

No tomatoes, no bile

and one and two are valid points.

on number three, I'd say you download the source, you look at it,  you use

It's not shrink wrapped. It's an experience oriented niche. I'd create a
backup cd of any os code that I ever use, because you never know when it
might become hard to find.

Just my thoughts.

:D
