In the fall of 2000, I bought one of the Apple 17' CRT ADC Studio Displays with my Cube.

It came with a flimsy little plastic and cardboard "Lollipop" thing. The disk portion of the lollipop has a hole cut in it, and it seems to me that it must be some sort of tool for calibrating or checking the colors of the monitor.

I have no idea how to use this thing, or for that matter, even what exactly it is used for. The "manual" that came with the display doesn't mention it or tell me how to use it. Can anyone here enlighten me?

That's basically where mine has been for the last 18 months. I was just going through some stuff down there and was confused by it all over again.

Where are you at in Maine, G4ME? I grew up in Brunswick.

I think it is used to measure the ambient light at your monitor. While calibrating your monitor, you hold the little thingy up to the screen and try to match what the ring's color is with the one on the screen. Or something like that
