Ken talked about this at a conference that I attended a couple of decades ago.
He had brought a whole pile of discs that he had made to give out before the
idea was nixed by the attorney.  Somehow audience members filched these discs
while Ken was fiddling with his slides.  No, I didn't end up getting one.  So
I don't know whether or not these included source code.
