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?

This brings an interesting topic to the forum. My G5 is great but was always fond of my G4 clunky 350 mhz PCI graphics(dreadful) tower. I used it with Protools LE and discovered it was underpowered and maxed out my track capabilities early on. It was a typical bait and switch when they came out. Advertised as a 400 mhz model but then released and downgraded to 350 mhz model. (I believe it was actually a G3). In any event, I revived it recently and it serves our family as another email/web accessable computer in our music room.
It is handy when the G5 goes bad crazy and I have to search the internet for clues to fix it. I think instead of getting the next new thing, reviving our older computers should be part of our strategy for economy. I bought a matching monitor recently for 25 euros and it's a classic look. I think CRT's have something flat screens don't have.... some retro thing. So... enjoy squeezing the last bit out of your laptop. One of the definitions of excellence I like is "meeting specifications at lowest cost". I'd like to hear how other forum users use your older generation machines? cheers. Mak |
