Ive started to build an ebook collection, a family photo album and personal scanned doc store on mine. John.

I’ve seen this episode before but I enjoyed it the last time because it featured folks like me who are trying to leave as small a footprint on our environment as possible. One so-called “Physicist” said that solar cells are only good for powering calculators and other small devices! I thought that was rather amusing that I am able to watch this guy say that on a TV that is run off my home’s electric that’s powered by solar cells, which also runs my refrigerator, computer, lights, and other “devices”. So much for any credibility this particular Physicist may bring to the table! Experts! They’ll get ya every time! <br/><br/> Take care!<br/>//bob I carry my Nokia N800, along with my cell phone, when I go to town!

I'm not sure how reliable service would be in a wide area power outage, but if a solar powered device could still have uses, it may be worth having.<br/><br/>John<br/>http://www.destinysurvival.com Cool idea about having a mobile computer.
