C. D.,

Thanks for the short course.  I went to the site and read the
comparisons.  I decided that some of the Elite's features might prove
to be very useful now and in the longer term.  My Spyder3Elite arrived
yesterday. I just ran the first calibrations on the two monitors I use
with PC's.  Both calibrations were completed very quickly, with a
smoother interface than the Spyder2Pro.  I am looking forward to the
rapid "Recal" feature.  I haven't yet calibrated the monitor on my G5
but assume it will go as smoothly.

One question though.  I am assuming (a dangerous thing) that I should
leave the Spyder3Elite connected to my main photoprocessing computer
so that it can monitor ambient conditions.  For the other two
machines, I am guessing that if the ambient conditions are stable and
remain the same as during calibration that the colorimeter not being
connected will not be an issue.  Is this correct?
