HAR! But, Bill, it does a much better job deleting your bank account.
Adobe Gamma is about like plain ground glass. The more one fiddles with it the better your eye adjusts to the screen. Of course that is just the opposite of what one wants. If one stops at the first match, they are pretty close. If not sure go away from the computer for awhile and recheck it later. It will probaby be within one click. Sit there staring at the screen, and 4-5 clicks to either side start looking the same. The human eye is very adaptable.
For anyone who may be interested, I do not calibrate my monitor. I calibrate my video card. To do that I load the appropriate monitor profile, set the monitor to base values for that profile plus max contrast, and minimum brightness. Then I load Adobe Gamma, but do not use its adjustors. Instead I use the video card software to adust the screen to standard PC gamma (I use 2.2 and turn up the monitor brightness (I have noted what point on the scale equals 1.8 gamma) when I want to view an Apple image). Then I save the settings as a custom video card profile. With this proceedure the monitor image seems to be much more stable than with the usually suggested method.

I bought a spyder, and discovered it does just as good a job as Adobe Gamma for screen calibration.
