Hi,

Is it possible to use the iMac G4 as an external display for an HP Touchsmart?
Nothing fancy, not trying to make the iMac a touchscreen, just wondering if this can be done and if there is a specific cord that can be used to do it.

Thanks for the info!!

In that case, what can one use an iMac G4 for? Any ideas?

Maybe if you can find an old g4 compatible capture device with input.
