It's usable, I demonstrated that with the photograph of it editing the Wikipedia entry. Perhaps you should re-evaluate your perspective. There's no theology involved. You can buy one right now. I do not know why you choose to ignore the facts in this discussion.
Personally, I'm beginning to think that you're cheerleading for Negroponte, and I'm wondering why. You've used 'theology' *offensively*, and I'm finding that your discussion is based on a theology which defies the facts that I am aware of. Honestly, I think you're avoiding the real questions because you have no answers. If you fail to respond to that, then I am certain that I am right.
