over-saturated

Okay. I have GOT to stop editing photos using this computer. This is the only machine I have that I have bothered to ensure that all of my gamma settings are correct and that it is balanced to appear to be a middle-of-the-road 2.2 gamma system (2.5 being the average PC gamma, and 1.8 being the average Macintosh gamma). All of the colors on this machine are balanced properly, and everything looks great. I edit a bunch of images, making minor level adjustments to the contrast, brightness, and saturation values. Then I publish them.

THEN I look at the same images on another machine (that has not been gamma corrected) and they are OVER-saturated and a little on the dark side of the spectrum.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see this as well? Is there WAY too much orange/rust in the pipe pictures? Is there WAY too much blue in the lake picture? To me, on this other machine, the pipe looks glowing hot, and the lake looks mildly radioactive.

Comments please.
