>>> Yeah, which means it actually has a useful
display, rather than the

have
The original Newton has a screen resolution of 336x240. My brand-new Treo
700p has a resolution of 320x320 -- physically it's smaller but hardly a
"smattering of a few pixels."

I don't see
it as any of those. What would you suggest instead?
(In case the meaning really isn't clear to you, to repurpose
something is to use it for a different purpose - different from
*what* is generally indicated by context (most commonly, different
from what it is currently being used for, or from what it was
designed for).)
If you know of a better word for the meaning, I'd love to hear.
