I _so_ wish I could afford to build a Beowulf Cluster.
My initial tests, a month ago, showed that I would have to do a lot a HTML code tweaking to get the Wikipedia (soup) to display properly on small screen ebook readers. I sort of abandoned it when I saw the results of a 50-page test .imp.

You can use the ETI PC viewer to see what I mean. :yuk:
