Now that the subject is being discussed:

The "resources" associated with this list include written descriptions
on how to use various slide mounts, and a number of 3D dealers, some of
whom openly encourage the use of slides, including by contributions to the
written descriptions.

So - has anyone ever considered making and selling a *video* showing
how to mount slides? Granted it would be tricky to get video camera shots
close enough to show what's going on. But such a video would convey lots
of information that's difficult to put into words (meaning into words that
a novice can understand).
