Well stated Hacker Sam.  Dr. T agrees entirely with your observations and
conclusions... Now, what's that heat about destroying old magazines?   You
know how much space do these magazines take in my basement?  My wife is
begging me to get rid of them or she is going to do it herself in my
absense.  Do I need to keep Popular and Modern Photography from the 70s?
If no, why not?  They are not old enough?  One day they will be old.  These
are MY magazines and MY house and I'll do whatever I want.  If I want to 
chop them down or burn them in a big fire, that's my business.  Donate
them?  Maybe... but libraries are thowing that stuff away... There is too
much printed material in the USA.

I do appreciate old magazines.  Just spent $200 to get all the PSA Journals
from 1958 to 1995 (that drove my wife crazy!)  I plan to copy all the
stereo photography in them and then try and find a sucker to pay $200 to
buy them from me.

Sam is doing a great service by taking 2 useless 2D cameras and making one
useful 3D camera.  Keep it up Sam!!!

George
