That seems plausible to me, Scott, partly because if it's quite a bit 
older, then for that reason alone there would be differences between 
the two. And I guess an age disparity has been typical due to the 
"palette display" being a retired "image display".

But I also think Paul was right in saying that profiling is supposed 
to iron out differences. How we might help it do so in selecting 
hardware and software seems to me to be an interesting question. 
Maybe especially in the notebook-based dual-display models I've been 
trying to explore with a view to updating and upgrading to such a 
model.

I'd be glad for any help with the exploration of notebook-based 
dual-display workstations - Windows, Mac, or hybrid - working at the 
juncture between cameras and printers.
