   You're right, as usual: my system wasn't properly calibrated, and I
was talking without having really checked it. :( ...thanks for the
deserved slap! ;)

   Seems that on the last OS upgrade I forgot to restore my gamma
correction settings for the graphic card. It was just a little bit off,
and once corrected I do start to see the plant on the upper right corner
of the image, but not "very well"... just a bit more than "barely". I
still have to raise the gamma to 1.4 on the image to match what I
remember as the "original look" of the image.

   No flat panel here... it's a CRT (Philips 109B, and yes, I'm also
praying for it to last still some years... fortunately it is still sharp
enough).
