I was under the impression that Microsoft and HP were trying to come up with
something reasonably similar to existing CRTs.  Or were CRTs the way they were
because they worked pretty well (sort of a Darwinian selection thing)?

One thing that frustrates me about sRGB is that it's impossible to get a good,
rich cyan with it--although, looking at the PDF you referred me to last year,
the other color spaces probably can't do much better.

It just occurred to me that with our sensitivity to 380 nm and 700 nm so low,
those might not be practical values.  Does an Adobe Wide-Gamut RGB monitor
actually exist, and if so, how do the blue (violet?) and red phosphors work out?

Yeah, I thought about that.
