Yes, did this when I was young, patient and poor - meanwhile I let do 
machines this kind of work for me.

But more seriously, I was always puzzled about the lack of interest in 
well calibrated viewing devices that seems so common among people within 
these newsgroups.
In my former line of work - among photographers - it was simply out of 
the question that a perfectly calibrated high end monitor is a *basic* 
requirement for judging any graphics related work.
Well, given that we are all just CGI hobbyists, and a good monitor isn't 
cheap - but a gaming graphics card or quad-core machine isn't cheap 
either and people seem to have no problem spending money for these. On 
the contrary things seem even worse now as in former times every 
calibrated mid-class CRT was already better than any contemporary 
high-end TFT.
