Digital BW, The Print

Daniel:

I just purchased the Optical/Spider combo and it works well with both 
CRT and LCD - I paid $298 delivered.  I haven't seen a laptop yet 
that I would do (acceptable) color management with including the G4, 
so you might want to find someone in your area with a spider/software 
to try prior to purchasing.
