You're excused George.  ;-)
Wow, first I have to bear the burden of upholding the virtue of stereo prints and now 
I find out I have to be called a "hacker" too!  I prefer "stereo craftsperson".  Where 
will this end.  ;-)  ;-)

Actually, the VM project was an easy one.  It took about two hours.  Not long by 
project standards, but we all have a different definition of long (and of "hacker").  
I really don't feel that it's elaborate, it just takes measuring, cutting, and gluing. 
 Of course, it's always easier to get the same result by purchasing a Model D (which I 
did too), but you don't advance your construction skills by buying the finished item 
all of the time.  We all choose our own level of involvement and commitment.
