Has no one tried to use the beautiful 20" display for another computer (via KVM switch, etc.)? I can't see ditching this computer (and monitor) in 3-4 years when it's out of date. I'm a home-built PC user which explains my thoughts. Waste not, want not.

why can't they make it easier. It would be so cool to use the iMac monitor with a PowerBook in a few years!!

I think Apple and other manufacturers are missing a trick here. This is an excellent idea in all respects. In addition, I would like to see the possibility to use the monitor and keyboard of a laptop to control a powerful tower, getting the power of a tower while lazing on the sofa (okay, there will be a cable running between the 2 computers)
external keyboard, mouse and display would be cheaper than laptop but not as portable i supose. If you could use a fast wireless then it would be good, but wireless is slow. Wires are a pain, i don't see the use?!
