Is there a way to use the monitor of an old iMac G4 (the iLamp) as a
monitor for an other computer?

I'd wish I could use my current iMac as a monitor for a laptop. It
wouldn't be hard for Apple to design that in, but for some reason that
wasn't part of the design.

I've been thinking about sticking a mac mini inside the dome.
Wiring the ports would be messy, though, might need to cut some holes :-(
