Hi all

I would like to know if it is possible to use a Powerbook or an iBook as monitor only cause I have a G5 at work and I would like to use my PB as second monitor with it to complement the 20" Cinema Display.

So can this be done ?

Thanks a lot.

This has come up more than once here and the answer is unfortunately no. You can use remote desktop applications letting you control your G5 with your PB but that's not the same.
