I'm getting a macbook pro (leopard) and want to use my 3 yr old ibook g4 as an extended desktop (dual display). Is anyone having success with this, and if so, what cord/adapter are you using?

Hi there, As far as I know the mac laptops (or PC's for that matter) dont have any way of getting graphics INto the system. This makes what you are trying to do an impossibility as far as I am aware, unless there is some way of networking the machines and sharing desktops that way  (unlikely), I know it seems a waste to let go of your precious mac, trust me I know. But you will probably be better served to sell it  and utilize the $ gained to buy yourself a desktop monitor which will no doubt be much bigger and more colour accurate than the aging G4's screen. Hope I was able to help.Jeremy -------------------- Jeremy Glover graphic designer and compositor extraordinair but a relative novice at audio
