Bring Your Mac Along for the Ride -- Literally | |
|

| Time: 03:52 EST/08:52 GMT | News Source: MacCentral | Posted By: Joshua Baer | ||

You can put a Power Mac G4 in your vehicle and let it provide the GPS navigation, movies, music, weather reports, and more. It's all detailed in an article on MujMAC, a Czech Mac news Web site. Not only did the author disassemble a Power Mac G4 and place the motherboard in one trunk-bound case and the drives and power supply elsewhere, with the separated parts connected to an in-dash LCD monitor that displays critical data generated by home-made software, but he also included an AirPort card and a built-in Ethernet network for Internet access at Wi-Fi hotspots. He can even use Bluetooth to access the Internet through a GPRS telephone, a feature he says "saved me and my company quite a lot of trouble (and money) when I was able to solve a potentially very serious problem from a parking place on a highway in the middle of Germany." | ||
