The TiBook screen is not great for doing color work - it's too sensative to angles, for one thing, and too limited as he says above. BUT...you can mirror to a CRT and that will give you the color rendition you desire. Won't help you on the road - but then a desktop system won't do that anyway. The TiBook is a fabulous computer, esp running OS X. I now use it as my PRIMARY machine, only doing substantial video editing projects and photoshop work on my desktop system. The wider aspect ratio of the TiBook is a Good Thing when working in pallet-rich environments. I've been using mine for a year now, the 500 MHz one, and it's just a wonderful machine. It really IS a replacement for a desktop system, except as noted. Adam - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
