[Eug-lug] some sales just aren't fair

There are big differences in the electronics between USB masters
and slaves.  So the only way converting a slave to a master is
possible is if Nokia put the circuitry for a master in the 770 and
didn't use it.  That is unlikely since they pay good money for that
silicon whether they use it or not.

   organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office.
