Interestingly, the "guy who discovered America after Columbus", was Amerigo Vespucci. And guess who got a continent named after him?
Which goes to show that sarcasm is a very fine art, and can easily backfire.
(And to add insult to injury, the first cartographer who used the name "America" for the continent, was Mercator[*], one of my tribe)
____[*] Nitpicking time: While it is true that the cartographer Waldseemueller used the name first, he only applied it to the region around Brazil. Furthermore, he stopped using the name in later editions. But Gerardus Mercator pulled a timewarped burn on "Rocketman" in 1538. So there.

Karel, funny - immature, mean-spirited, nerd hiding behind his keyboard - but definitely funny.

I'm aware of the cradlepoint router, which is nice and small ... and works with USB devices directly (EVDO dongles, cell phones) or Express Cards via a USB adapter. But it doesn't have a battery.
Can you give a URL for one that works with batteries?
