[QUOTE="Nikolaus_Maack, post: 382140, member: 30556"] My iMac G4 died. Specifically, the logic board died. My G4 is the beautiful model that's half a sphere with a stalk sticking out of it. I hate to see it like this. Having little choice -- I can't live without a computer -- I bought a new G5 Intel iMac machine thing. It is a delight. Just before my G4's logic board died, I got the screen replaced. (It was still under warrantee.) So it seems sad to have a dead screen like that -- going to waste. Is there any way for me to hook up the G4's screen to my g5, so I have dual monitor capabilities? Or is this so utterly impossible for me to achieve as a fairly naive user that I should just give up, and use my G4 as a doorstop? (Hint: I don't even have the tools to open my G4, let alone understand what's going on inside of it.) It's just a thought. I've always dreamed of having the multi-flat-screen system of CSI. Thanks for your sympathy, mockery, etc. Nik [url]http://www.nikart.ca[/url] [/QUOTE]
