Its pretty interesting that although the iLiad is built with open source software it is so hard to find a way to reflash it. I'm beginning to think that this move migh be intentional on iRex's part, a way to make sure that users do not intstall an OS that did not come from them.

They might fear the havoc users might wreak if they're allowed to have their way with iRex's precious hardware. <end of sarcastic remark>
