I've always found it quite annoying when I want to look something up in an Encyclopedia but there isn't a set of them handy, and my laptop can't get an internet signal. So I propose programming encyclopedia volumes into cartriges that are compatible with Gameboys. This allows you to carry an entire set
in
a backpack or briefcase, and instead of buying an expensive PDA and scanning it to upload the information, simply insert the appropriate cartrige into a Gameboy. Original Gameboys can be obtained for about 5-10 bucks apiece.

Sweet. I am now three seperate classes of nerd with my old-school encyclopaedia Gameboy. |

Well, a CD set for the laptop would be better, but a <quick calculation for Britannica> 300 cartridge text-only Gameboy version is far more amusing. |

I think I'd only carry around vloumes Aab-Aak, and Aal-Aat. |

I wonder how many b&w gameboys are lurking in cupboards around the world? |

I was thinking this was maybe some novel weapon for role-playing games, launching heavy, hide-bound bio-degradable projectiles. |

I lent mine and never got my tetris back... |

Wasn't Tetris the only reason to own a Gameboy? |

Please explain more about this magic internet signal. |
