Spyder 3 here I come! Cool


My supervisor suggested I rent out my service as a monitor calibration technician once it arrives. Laughing


That's not a bad idea. I add "monitor calibration" as a "value added" step for my clients. I don't charge them but they feel GOOD about the "free" bonus, and I get clients that actually are looking at the same COLOURS as ME when I send them proofs.

(this, of course, only works if they are in the same town as me. Wink )

Laughing thanks for getting back to us so quickly on this thread! Razz

SquidMan - I use my Spyder2 for "mobile/at client site" work. Not so worried if it gets trashed. But once I get my Spyder4 I'll give you a good deal on the "2". Wink

BTW, I got a great deal on a (somewhat heavily used) Photoshop CS2 disc...? Cool (nothing says FUN like 2006!) Twisted Evil

ohh I see... Razz Ingenious! You use the spyder 2's slower speed to your advantage while showing your clients the insane skills you have on the squeeze box (or is it insane to have skills on the squeeze box) so they pay you more to leave quicker... Laughing
