Well then, i'm sold! I'll be looking forward to getting the Spyder3/PFP here soon. Thanks to 
everyone for all of your input; made my decision much easier : ) It's particularly nice to 
have received feedback from those, like myself, who manage student labs. The 3 computer 
limitation of the Colormunki definitely would not do...thank goodness I found this forum! 
Thanks again everyone!
