It appears that the displayed information is static (I've only briefly checked the code though, I may be wrong...) Ideally it should query the web for a changed file and display that. This would add a simple news reader function, which could be used to alert users of critical updates, EOL notices, etc. This would also dissuade users from un-checking the "show at next startup" option.

It could display the installed text on first boot, and upon network connection download a changed file and show that, avoiding any network errors.
