Just saw this thread - I have a Powerbook G4 that Bluetooths to either my Nokia 6600 or my Erikson T610 using Tmobile for "dialup". It's a flat fee per month...kind of slow but enough to check email on the road. Sometimes I just keep the laptop open on the passenger seat connected and can hear new messages coming in. I also have some computer speakers plugged into the inverter so I can play my music. I now have a new Garmin handheld GPS (a present from the boy scouts I took out kayaking for a week) and I need to interface it with the laptop. I think I need a conversion cable from the serial cable to the mac. I can use a better way to have the laptop secured. Wirless is also good - I have three programs that pickup signals... I also need a new battery that my inverter connects to - for some reason the previous owner installed it and the inverter in the lower rear cabinet - the one in front of the water tank. I really don't like it there, but maybe he couldn't find a small enough one to go under the drivers seat. (the battery doesn't hold a charge after the van is off, has a bad cell) I like the thread about packing - I am not very good at unpacking as I would be packing and unpacking every other day!
