The three we chose were just the ones we thought would offend the fewest
people. :)  The Beasties song says something like: "Yes I'm pro-choice
I'm a scream and shout it."

Good idea here.  I guess the user wouldn't be able to save over the
files where they live now (in the GIMP, for example), but it's probably
not a big deal.

I totally agree with you on both issues.  My ONLY concern is that the
user leaves the demo CONVINCED that Linux/GNOME can play their music.  

Can we include easy instructions to help those hardcore MP3 kids add the
support during the demo?

Jeff, is there a final yes/no on MP3 and MPG support?
