Paul, I just picked up a Mac Mini computer.  The little box is the
entire computer.  It is 6" x 6" x 2". I plugged it into my old
monitor and keyboard.   It  has 1gb memory, 1.66ghz, duo core
processor, 160 g pf storage. DVD reader.  More memory, bigger drives
etc are available.    It does not make a sound (no fan)  and is  much
faster than anything I have ever used.  It is small enough to fit in
any cockpit if a use for it in the air could be found.  Jerry

I don't know about the Mac but there is a bunch of moving map
software that runs on PC's. Also a USB GPS reciever.

Unless I'm wrong, the new Mac's with the Intel chip can run
either OS, at least that's what my rabid Mac fans tell me.
