So my question is how do you do this in OSX,do you have to do this ?
No you don't have to do that. There's absolutely no reason to disable
either the Default Calibrator or Adobe's calibrator on MacOS9 (or
MacOSX). They don't affect any other component in the system, they're
just applications. It'd be like disabling SimpleText...it's just an
app, don't worry about it.
I'm guessing this advice comes from companies that write calibrators,
either hoping to scare people into using only their calibrator, or
hoping to avoid users running one calibrator then another. Running one
calibrator after another should not be a problem for any decent
calibrator that saves LUT information into their created profiles.
Restoring the LUTs should be as simple as selecting a display profile
in the Displays - Color tab on MacOSX, or in the Monitors control panel
on MacOS9. I know there used to be apps that had some special
mechanism for loading the LUTs separate from selecting the profile,
haven't they changed that yet? They should have by now.

Its fun going back and forth from OS9 to OSX.
What I like about this statement is "going back and forth between OS9
and OSX". Yes, that is exactly what you're doing, and that's how you
should think about it. They really are two different worlds, one
within the other. Although there is some overlap, conceptually it's
clearer to think of them as two different things, because settings in
one aren't inherited by the other.
