Once upon a time there was a pasty-faced geek who lived in his mother's basement and spent his time hacking and collecting online porn.

Wayan Vota and I are agreed that Nicholas Negroponte is crazy. What divides us is the question whether Nicholas is crazy enough. (I am indebted to Niels Bohr for making this distinction early in the 20th century in the context of quantum mechanics.)
