So can you end up drinking the microscopic robots? Couldn't this raise as much protest as floride in the water? (We must protect our precious bodily fluids!)

And Microsoft is releasing this handheld for free? Or giving it away with every copy of Windows?
Neglecting the lessons of history is one thing, but learning the difference between history and the present is also important.
Why not? You can watch TV in text mode, you can play DVDs in text mode,
you can play Quake 1 in text mode. Quake II is the logical next step.
