Thanks a lot, Joel. Just had a minute to come to the computer, and your
email arrived :-)

Well, now you may buy the last one ... I'm not sure if I may found one
of them, but will search.

It is, absolutely. And I'm not talking of this list in particular, on
the contrary, this is one of the most mature web resource I've found in
years.

Oh! - I should too. People I highly respect here have told me so. It's
beyond reasoning: I cannot.
More: after calibrating this CRT using C.H. recommended site, everything
fitted so perfectly well that the Nvidia card needed to be at its
default settings, and when running Adobe Gamma, I was able to easily
select the neutral gray square without hesitations - while if I load
aRGB1998 I'm always doubting if neutral gray would be that one
corresponding to 6500 or 7200ºK !!
