RingCube's MojoPac software: Now take your PC anywhere you like!


If your remote access setup just isn't doing what you need it to do, RingCube Technologies has developed a software program that allows your iPod, external HDD, USB drive, or other fancy form of storage to be utilized as a "private and portable PC." MojoPac compacts your Windows XP desktop, settings, accounts, and even programs/preferences onto any portable storage medium to be accessed as a virtual desktop. The software relocates your data to an "on-the-go" device, while it borrows the resources from any other Windows XP computer you manage to locate. RingCube boasts the software's ability to run "side-by-side" with the host PC, allowing you to work in both domains while keeping all of your private information secure; since all data transmissions occur on your MojoPac-equipped storage device, no traces of your work are saved on the host PC. Of course, the utility of such a setup is greatly reliant on the speed of your storage device, so attempting to render a Photoshop document from a USB 1.1 thumb drive would likely create a fair amount of frustration. Needless to say, satisfying your curiosity here won't cost a dime -- MojoPac is currently available for a free month trial, after which the "introductory price" is $29.99 for the initial license ($14.99 for add-ons). Those who wait too long could end up paying nearly double the price. Make sure and check out FolderClone for easy back-ups.
