Keywizard is old old old and will lock up a G4 pretty consistently so I set
it up on a PC with Win2K where it (not me) seems happier. You get both
versions on the CD; the same serial number works. Gretag-MacBeth really
ought to update that code for newer machines/OSs.
I ended up buying an Xrite 518 for densitometry work. the 'Lino is OK if you
just want density but I wanted to measure ink trap, gain, etc. you can
calculate those data from density in Excel but not on the pressroom
floor--the 518 has an LCD panel.
