I just bought at ebay auction a G520 of 2001 vintage. The cost was $200 +$45 shipping. There are a fair number of them available. One vendor has thirty of them. The monitor "has a slight blue tint" according to the seller but hopefully I can adjust it to be reasonably close to correct. I also bought a calibration target from Wolf Faust for the huge sum of $15.00 US postpaid :) Anyone have suggestions for finding a G520 manual? -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com
