OK OK OK.
I'm something of a hardware idiot. Not knowing... anything really about any kind of hardware. So, i hope this question makes sense and the answer is the one i want to hear! *hopes*
OK so, i have an old imac. Don't ask me the make or model... cos i just don't know. It's old, but its not stupidly old. It's the one with the silver swizzley neck that sprouts from a little white dome.
Anyway, i also have a new, white, macbook.
I don't care for the old imac at all anymore and it just sits there looking pretty. Although, today i had a thought. "maybe... just maybe... i could hook up this macbook to the old imac and use its monitor and run DUAL like all the cool people".
Anyway, the initial excitement was quickly overcome by my rubbish knowledge of hardware and what i'm doing.
So, my question.
Is this possible? If so, how? What would i need to make this work?
It's 12.19am right now. I'll be going to bed soon. It would be lovely to wake up tomorrow with some "yeah its easy!" replies so i can go to the shop tomorrow, buy whatever i need and make this crazy stuff happen by tomorrow evening. That would be so exciting.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
