Growing up in a different time period and culture, I missed the slide
shows and 8mm home movies (even though my dad has left me with a 
treasure of 8mm movies with us kids growing up, I do not remember him 
ever projecting them!)  But I am getting exposed everyday with another 
form of hobby/entertainment:  Lowest quality shapshots from cheap cameras 
and poor processing.  I'll take 3d slides over these snapshots and
TV together at any time for reasons of quality (over convenience) and 
personal satisfaction.  Stereo photography is not for everyone but it is 
something certainly worth doing.  While stereo slides do not have sound 
and motion, what they do have (resolution, depth, colors) is great.  
Short but very sweet.  What Marvin is saying about the status of TV is 
certainly true but stereo and TV do not compete with each other.  A 
person can certainly enjoy both.

The question now is:  How am I going to make my kids enjoy and
appreciate 3d and follow their father's footsteps?
