I agree with Dave... The situation is similar to being able to
freeview... I can check the depth on stereo images without carrying a
viewer with me.  That gives me power and freedom...

Well said!  That's what I did and that's what I am still trying to do...

BTW, I have seen a small sample of Dave's first stereo slides.  They are
spectacular!  I need to go to Alaska!  What a beautiful place!  

His pictures were very sharp (no wonder, he was using one of my Realists!)
The only problem... some of his pictures were underexposed! ;) ;) ;)
