The Spyder2 CV startup item is not necessary on the Mac to apply your  
profile and video corrections; only for secondary tasks like warning  
you that it's time to recalibrate. Not true on Windows where it's  
needed to apply the video LUTs.

Also, the Spyder3 Utility does a lot more, and is important to have  
running on both Mac and Windows.
