Nintendo Conquers Everest

I just read Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. This is a first person account about a disaster during a summit attempt on Mount Everest in 1996. Excellent read if you're interested. So today Thing1 sends me a link about a couple of guys who took Nintendo DS handheld game systems on their trip up Mount Everest. Not one broke! Incredible given how many things kept breaking during Jon's ascent.
