The master controller or the slave > device? Use an A port to turn it into slave and a B port to turn it into a master. Rocket science it is not. [deletia] Although the only reason to even turn this thing into a slave device is this walled garden nonsense. Make it a proper machine with open access and the need to treat this thing like an oversized ipod goes away. -- Apple: Because only pirates are power users. ||| / | \

The kindle isn't being portrayed as anything more than a book reader. OTOH, the ipad is being overhyped by cult members as the second coming. [deletia] The Kindle also doesn't have an office suite planned for it. -- Apple: Because only pirates are power users. ||| / | \

What cult and where? Please provide links or are you parroting your master Peter Koehlmann?
