Startup Webaroo to put the 'Web on a Hard Drive'?

An anonymous reader writes "A new startup called Webaroo is launching Monday with an audacious proposition: You can search the Web without a net connection of any kind. Initial release consists of 'Web packs' on specific topics such as news, city guides or Wikipedia. Later this year they're promising a full-Web version that you can carry on a laptop -- provided you're willing to devote something in the neighborhood of 80 gig."

There will always be times when the internet is unavailable, either through technical problems or the realities of your location. Having another, albeit lesser, option is always nice and these guys are trying to provide that.

Then Mr. Superior Engineer, you buy the stock. Or better yet, invest some start-up money because this is such a briliant business idea.
 
Or better yet, please take a job there.
