Mark, I visited their site and they had 1 upgrade for the version you sold me. I downloaded it but never upgraded the PC as the original version was doing its job. I'm a bit concerned because of the monitor adjustments. I can adjust brightness, but i think i needed to adjust the blacks or contrast as the second step and i don't see how to do that on the iMac. > > Of course, Version II hardware was an improvement and I would expect > version III to be better still.
