For graphics, print and video production Macs *are* the standard. FWIW SGIs also used a similar gamma- and they were used in graphics and video a lot. TV and Video production is just different than PC computer graphics I guess.
I'm not sure, but from what I've read, it's not as simple as twiddling a decimal number for the gamma somewhere in the system defaults.

Now AFAIK quickdraw is obsoleted and now the graphics API is Quartz+CoreGraphics, which does not use QuickDraw at all. Maybe the gamma model is the same?
I hear they're finally considering a two-button mouse; is a universal gamma
setting so unthinkable?
Hating Macs today, Richard? Actually I use a 3 button scrollwheel mouse on all my Macs. But
Control-click == Right click
if you are ever using a 1 button mouse.
