The best end-user software is probably the current Xrite stuff
(i1Match) bundled with Eyeone Display.
The best color geek software is probably Basiccolor or ColorEyes, my
preference these days goes to Basiccolor as the ColorEyes guys are
sulking and don't want to play with me anymore ;)
The best instrument is probably the Eyone Pro spectrophotometer which
can calibrate anything, followed by the excellent DTP94 and the Eyeone
Display 2 if you prefer colorimeters, and then the Huey. The DTP94 can
be bought as clearance stock, it's not made anymore. Old samples of
the original EyeOne Display (1) should be avoided, I believe - I may
be wrong on that. As for the well-marketed Spyder, I have
arachnophobia, but that's just me.
Discussions whether colorimeters are better than spectros keep going,
I prefer spectros. Adaptation problems may or may not occur with
wide-gamut monitors and colorimeters, I really wouldn't know and
wouldn't try one on anything that has a gamut wider than sRGB.
The above opinions are my own, and given freely, so they are probably
worth exactly what they cost you: Nothing. :)

Dennis,
I ripped a 17x22 300 ppi photo using 2880 dpi (the slower configuration)
in an old mac mini G4 1.4 and in a new mac mini Intel 2.0 GHz, both
machines with 1 GByte of RAM. The ripping time in the old G4 was 40
minutes and in the newer Intel machine was 20 minutes. I monitored the
RAM usage and Colorburst never used more than 184 Mbytes of RAM in both
machines. Please remember Colorburst isn't ported to an universal
application, so I runs under rosetta in Intel macs. I believe the
universal version is due in December.
Best regards,
Lorenzo

Thanks for the replies about ColorBurst's needs. I'll forward them on
to the photographer and see if they answer his questions.

Coloreyes is sold as a minimum 3 station license, any combo of mac
and pc.
Multi station (beyond 3 and site licensing is available).
