Of course, you will have to activate the 4G modem using a Windows computer but afterwards, it should be easy to take advantage of Verizon’s LTE network on your Mac. (For activating, you can use a virtual machine software on your Mac such as VMWare, or hopefully you have an extra Windows computer too.)

For those of you who want to recycle you iMac G4 into a swivel 17-inch touchscreen monitor, take a look at how this guy did it.

Mac Hack – How to Clean CPU Fan and Replace Hard Disk on a PowerBook G4!

Posted on September 20, 2009 by max

Recently, one of my friends who is a plumber in San Francisco, gave me an old PowerBook G4.  Well, since I am not an Apple fan boy (sorry Apple fan boys), I’ve figured I can install Windows XP.
