Lighting the way

Some people scoff at technology and gadgets but they can be useful.  I know I use my Palm and phone as torches (when I'm not using my headlamp).  I hadn't thought of using the iPod - but that's what helped a newbie mushroom picker who became lost in the woods in Oregon last November.  He used the light from his iPod nano screen as a flashlight and a beacon that rescuers used to spot him (then ... it's just taken me this long to post this).
