See? Whenever someone uses "compression", I just know they're thinking of that Star Trek misnomer. The Higgs-Jansens Teleporter doesn't use compression (gawd, I'm getting so tired explaining this; doesn't anyone use the search function anymore?), as it doesn't transmit information about teleported objects, but rather the objects themselves, albeit in a slightly dimensionally warped state. It's in the faq, people! Don't make me start all over about the zero-inertia field and macro-de-dimensionising at c.

The main problem with the current N-series, is that the battery is slightly underpowered for teleportation tasks. It might be possible to shoehorn a subcompact M/AM cell in the compartiment, but frankly I wouldn't want to be the one testing out the jury-rigged 5 Gw connection to the USB port. And don't forget that an external adapter will inevitably create a slightly lopsided Higgs field, because of the positioning of the lasers. I don't know about you, but I like to arrive with all my parts still attached...
