As fine as Macs are for creating print and video, last I heard, they 
only had a 3% marketshare for all computers. So, all those other 
computers are viewing on 'non-Mac' gamma settings. I'm with Richard and 
believe Apple should consider adopting the predominant gamma standard. 
The first thing I did when getting the i-Book was reset the gamma.
