One comment of interest to the above, regarding Dr. T.:
"The only man I know that can criticize both his own daughter and mother in 
one posting! ;-)"

4. Favorite film (Brand/speed)
Kodachrome 64  -  6                    Fuji Velvia (50)  -  6
Fuji Sensia (100)  -  2                  Ektachrome 100  -  2

Kodachrome 100  -  1                  Kodachrome 400  -  1
"Still a novice, but so far I've been happy with Sensia 100 & 200, E-6 (100) 
has also been good, but too costly."  -  1
"Tie: Kodachrome 64 for it's longevity and low contrast, Lumiere 100 for it's 
sharpness, grain, color, and speed."  -  1

5. How Many Stereo Cameras do you own?

Three  -  4                                   Four  -  3
Eight  -  1                                   Ten  -  2
Twelve  -  1                                 Twenty  -  1
Twenty-three  -  1                         Twenty-five  -  1
Thirty  -  1                                   Fifty-three  -  1

I wasn't too surprised with the answers to the first two questions.(I'm 
assuming that people who chose 'Realist' were referring to the 3.5)
As I mentioned in an earlier posting I WAS surprised at the answers to number 
three, I thought that Harold Lloyd would carry the field hands down... (See 
George, you're world renowned!) (and just what was the infamous remark about 
your daughter and mother?...)
I'd love to see one of those Kodachrome 400 slides... doesn't it present a 
problem with graininess?
Looking back, I must admit that I voted for the VM Personel in an attempt to 
skew the answers and make the game harder, but all my other answers were 
fairly done. (I have a VM Personel, a Kodak, and a Realist 3.5. The Kodak is 
probably my favorite, but I still maintain that VM is my favorite 'viewing' 
format.)

BTW - Derek, I'm another that would be interested in seeing you post the 
judging rules. If anyone ever asks my opinion, I'd like to be able to give an 
informed answer!
