Either the EyeOne or the Spyder will calibrate your LaCie's under OS X. The
EyeOne is a rather more bulky and sensitive device to be handing around a
student lab for monitor calibration, however. I suggest you bolt that down in
one safe spot for patch reading so it won't disappear, and can't be dropped
further than the (padded!) work surface, and use the lower cost and more
durable Spyders for monitor calibration. If one of those walks you are out
only a third as much as a monitor only EyeOne, or an eighth as much as a
patch reading EyeOne. You can get two or three Spyders, but lock up the
others and only admit to the students that you have one, so they treat it as
a non-renewable resource instead of a harvestable crop. I'm rather a cynic
about student labs, dealing with them as often as I do... Murphy's law rules
there; anything that can walk off will walk off, and anything that can be
dropped will be dropped.
Educational discounts should be available from both companies.
