| This year, just in time for the 50th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary's first ascent of Everest, climbers on the mountain will have the chance to connect with the world below by e-mail. That is because Tsering Gyaltsen, the grandson of the only surviving Sherpa to have accompanied Hillary on that famed climb, is planning to build the world's highest Internet cafe at base camp.

| I'd love to be the field engineer for that one. | |

| It would be great to send messages like, "We are out of beer, can you send some, mate?" or "Me snow shoes are busted can you send me up a new pair, mate," mate | |
