Rocking OS X from your Pocket PC

No, he didn't install OS X on his Fujitsu Pocket LOOX, but Teddy The Bear did successfully install a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server on his PowerBook and a matching client on his Pocket Loox 720.  Teddy, as he chooses to be called for short, gets a full OS X desktop on his Fujitsu's VGA screen, and is able to do everything he could were he sitting in front of the 'Book itself.  It's probably not the fastest thing in the world, but the idea of accessing your PowerBook on a WiFi beach in southern France isn't such a bad one.  With VNC clients easy to come by these days crossed with the growing ubiquity of WiFi hotspots, this may not be such a bad idea after all.
