Found Footage: Mac Mini Portable

This video is a little old, but it is still very cool. Peter Green hacked himself up the smallest Mac portable out there: an 8 inch screen combined with a battery, scroll pad and a G4 Mac mini = an ugly, but very portable, Mac.

Check out all the details at his .Mac page, and it looks like Peter is going to be hacking an Intel version sooner or later. Here's to the crazy ones.

Hi Peeps, I'm the designer of the MMP - and I've just made a NEW website detailing my MMP MkIII - the Tablet Edition.
It's based on an Intel Mac Mini and is the worlds LIGHTEST & SMALLEST MAC LAPTOP!!

Here's the link;

originally and at approx 5AM GMT the link for Peter Green redirected to .MAC, and showed a message stating that it was down due to bandwidth.... the link in the message prompted your .MAC log on, now the URL still stated www.petergreen.org... even though it was or appeared to be pulling pages from apple.com... Viewing source code showed.. http://homepage.mac.com/petergreen/petergreendotorg/ as far as I remember...
So how did that happen or how did he mange to do that???

Yeah, that's his "Mark II" model -- the Flickr-stream shows a few more photos of the "Mark III"

Really wish the guy created a worklog -- and as far as I know, the MkIII hasn't been photodocumented like the MkIII...
