Whats the difference between wanting to calibrate it for the laptop and just
want ing the color to look good? If the issue is that your G3 is an earlier
model without USB capabilities, and you don't have a USB PC card for it, then
you can try jstu copying the profile from the desktop machine. But since the
settings and video card are not the same there is no guarantee this will do
the trick. If you can hook the Spyder to your PowerBook, why not just
calibrate the auxilliary monitor from there, to get things right? By the way,
I recently demoed PhotoCAL and OptiCAL for the annual convention of the Maine
Professional Photographers Association on a G3 PowerBook, right on the built
in monitor, using one of the new LCD/CRT Spyders, and it did a great job,
blown up by a digital projector onto a large projection screen.
