I recently bought myself a laptop and am having trouble properly calibrating the monitor. I was wondering if any of you know of a good website that offers free monitor calibration software?

The spider is great, but the cost might be prohibitive. Its like 300 bucks. I did a side by side with my friend's Spider ( which I happen to covet

) and my little Huey, the results were comprable for printing on the Epson that I have. So, until you hit the big time or the lotto...it's a good way to go.
Calibration is the key to good prints, The Huey works well.
