A relatively minor correction to make: > ... wondering why Apple would change the Mac to match Windows after 25 years of using gamma 1.8 ... No, the original Mac had only black & white. No gray (or any other colors besides black & white), and thus no gamma. The earliest Mac for which gamma would have had any meaning was the Macintosh II, introduced in 1987, and that's 22 years ago, not 25. This is no big deal, of course, but then he repeats the error: > Macintosh, in 1984, introduced us to desktop publishing and to displays with shades of grays. Nope. Again, no big deal, but seeing that he got the unimportant facts wrong, gives me rather less confidence is his important facts. Caveat lector.
