Here's the dealio. I MIGHT be getting a G4 iMac from my dad's friend tomorrow (since he's upgraded to two G5s) and I was wondering if I could keep it under my desk and use my Powerbook as a Monitor? If so, how would I go about doing it and what would I need to get it done? I'm kind of a n00b with Macs.

Thanks

No. This question gets asked regularly, but the answer is always the same.

Sell the PowerBook and get an actual display if you need one.
