Product Description:
ScreenRecycler allows you to use any networked computer as additional display.
Many Mac users have a second computer sitting right next to their main computer on their desk including a nice display. ScreenRecycler now enables you to use this spare computer as second display for your Mac. You can even use an idle machine for that purpose.
It's like a dual monitor setup without the need to buy an additional monitor.
Just start ScreenRecycler on your Mac then connect to ScreenRecycler via JollysFastVNC from your old machine.
Use any machine as additional monitor on your Mac !

jflaster1Works well and is very fast. and the Author is very good at responding to support requests and investigating bugs.
Perfect for taking advantage of Sun or Linux Workstation/Server with a monitor to use as a extra screen for a MAC.
I'm using it with a macbook connected to 24" display and then connecting up to TightVNC running on a Solaris 10 Workstation
Just the ticket for a MacBook and/or iBook - Version: 1.08, 10/31/2007 06:03AM PST

I like this software. It fits what I need and does well exactly what it claims to do well.
You've got to hand it to the author of this code... he wrote two useful programs to work together when he found there was nothing out there to do what he (and I) needed.
So, I use this on a MacBook Intel machine (which didn't have dual monitor mode, except for mirroring displays) and I use an iBook G4 (both Tiger) as the second display. I also installed Screen Spanning Doctor, on the suggestion in ScreenRecycler troubleshooting section. That suggestion alone was worth a lot.
On price point... even if a second monitor would work here, $25 is a fair price to pay if this is what you need - either to put a second computer to use as a second monitor, or to get dual-screen capability when it would otherwise be impossible.
