The story behind this is very funny. As you know, the mac roms are a pair of
chips. Would you believe that one half of that ROM space is taken up by that
slide show? And it's not all just on one chip. That is a real bone of 
contention amongst mac owners who are forced to pay for a _new motherboard_
every time they burn out a rom (which is fairly common).
