Laptop as a Monitor

[TechCom0018]

Is there a way to make my laptop a monitor for desktop so I can do stuff on my desktop, using my desktop's keyboard and mouse? Also is there a way to move files from my desktop to my laptop and vice versa?

Q1, dont think you can do that. this may help http://ask.metafilter.com/51778/Laptop-LCD-to-Desktop-PC
Q2, Usb key,crossover,network,dvd,cd.. the usb key or cd/dvd is probably best for ya, unless you have a network..
dvd is good cause u are also backing up ur work..

Edit: I have this and it works Great.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233037

This may be better for you though.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227145
Price and size to start off.

Everything's possible over the network, but it's not practical...especially not video.

This is good, i just installed the demo, (only good for 15 days or 50 uses) and its smooth and easy to use... wonder if there is something like this for free.. (this cost 29.95).

TechCom0018 this is good for you as long as your on a network..
But i give it 10/10..
