    Using second iMac as monitor - can I still access its drive?

    When my 2017 iMac arrives, I intend to use my current iMac (2013) as a second monitor by connecting them with Thunderbolt. So my question is, will that Thunderbolt connection also grant me access to drives connected to the slave iMac whilst in screen share mode? To complicate things, the 2013...

    Is this a graphics card or LCD problem?

    This mac has been used for a number of years and has these faint lines running up the screen in places, almost like they are moving. They are very faint but become more visible up close on a dark screen.

Because if the thunderbolt is not required, I could...
