I have recently bought a new Mac Mini. I would like to connect the Mini with my older G-4 so that I can use both with one monitor, keyboard and mouse. Is there a simple way to connect these two? Be advised that I am a novice in all things having to do with computing. Both machines are running OS X.

Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
GeeceeC

You want a KVM switch.

And if you'd rather have a software solution than buy a KVM switch you could consider Screen Sharing / VNC. The former's built into Leopard, the latter can be done for free with a client like this one.
