Using Ibook G4 + Powerbook G3... dual monitor?

[factory81]

I was wondering if it is at all possible to hook my Ibook G4 1Ghz up to my Powerbook G3 500 and use the Powerbook as a second monitor? I'm running apps like Photoshop and Final Cut where I need more monitor space and I am trying to see if I can achieve this without having to go out and buy another monitor.

Thanks,
Bill

Does the PowerBook G3/500 have a video-in port? (I don't think they do) That would be the only way to do that.

I figured it may be a dead end situation.... but was just trying to make use of that powerbook just sitting there hoping to slave it as just another lcd monitor. I know there is always the option to sell it out on ebay for the money to buy another crt or lcd... but i kinda like having another laptop around just in case..... Thanks for the help guys.
