I am not arguing with 97% making a de-facto standard. But I'm asking, 
if there is/was a good reason for the Mac's funky gamma, if it was born 
before the MS Windows PC gamma, and if it is a matter of principle that 
Mac's haven't switched to the predominant standard. I'm not a graphics 
professional- just curious.
