For all Frenchies: it's worth while to buy the last 'Chasseur d'image' 
magazine Nr.292. They cover everything in Colormanagement, LCD testing for 
photographers, and selling pictures in France in the right portion of black 
and white (not colors) money without being caught ;-)

Cheap calibration devices are Huey <90Euro and Spyder2express <100Euro
