In a month or so, I'm going to be having an operation and will be in hospital for a few days (then off work for a month, zing!). I'm going to be bored out of my mind unless I take something to do. I was thinking of getting a few DS games then leaving them alone until I go into hospital.
However, it occured to me that there might be a problem with that. We all know that you're supposed to switch mobile phones off in hospitals because the signals they give out can interfere with hospital equipment... but does anyone know if this would apply to the DS as well? Seeing as the DS is supposedly constantly sending out signals; searching for other DS consoles to connect with (or so I heard), would these interfere with hospital equipment in the same way as mobile phones?
If so, I'll take my GBA and finish Astro Boy and Minish Cap... but I fancied having Kirby and Nintendogs keeping me and my bed-pan company.

Actually the thing about mobile phones is BS.
They don't affect anything.
So I presume neither will the DS.

That's what I was told the other week by a male nurse, when I went in to see my sick Grandad.. Was quite suprised :)
So yeh, DS'll be fine, although I think it only sends out signals when you're multiplaying, pictochatting or downloading software.
