... but has anyone got a macbook or macbook pro running as their second display. its a odd situation most people won't find themselves in but someone at my work left. and his macbook pro is just sitting there collecting dust. i want to use it as the second display for my iMac.

i just can't get Screen Recycler to work, all i get is a stretched image on both screens. is there any special software i need? or hardware for that matter.

sorry for asking stuff that might have already been asked, i just can't get to the bottom of this.
