OK - understood. You're counting on Windows being more backward compatible for
these things than Mac. Maybe, maybe not, because there is the 64 bit business. I
have an application XRite shipped with the Pulse Elite kit called "ColorShop-X,
kind of like ColorThink but not as good. But it has one neat little utility one
just can't find anywhere nowadays called "Color Scratchpad" (If I'm wrong about
this please tell me). It allows you to read colours off of paper and it posts
them on your display in Lab, RGB, you name it, in a nice list, so you can see
and retain the exact spectro readings of any colour you want. It comes in very
handy for all kinds of research and testing. I asked XRite about support for
that product - gone with Dodo bird I'm afraid, and not even usable on 64-bit
Windows. So I keep an older 32-bit WinXP laptop handy for using the good stuff
those folks won't spend the money to up-date.
Mark

I know it runs on both PC and Mac. The only "problem" here is that of they drop
colorport support on the next Macs in a couple of years, then one needs to use
"immortal" virtualised PC support.Macs seem to really have hit the forced
upgrade treadmill hard - just watch Monaco Profiler stop working on Lion
