Gregory, is there something about your Zarus we should know? Why is it important to Wikipedia that we ensure that the English Wikipedia remains small enough to fit on a portable computer? If size is a problem, have you thought of filtering out a few categories that you don't like, or those articles which are smaller than, say, 2kb? I'm sure you'l find a way to cram all the articles you're likely to want to read onto a nice fat Zarus, if you only use a filter to decide which articles to take with you. On the subject of road junctions, there are probably quite a few on Wikipedia already. Oh yes, here we go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_Corner
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_Junction
which is actually a disambig leading to no less than two articles about road junctions. They can be encyclopedic too. The English Spaghetti junction article has a link to an aerial photo of the junction. It looks lovely. And here's an article I wrote recently:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontop_Pike
It's about a great big pole stuck in the ground.
It's amazing what kinds of things you can write a good encyclopedia article about.
