Electronic Expo?

[P3D Dr. George A. Themelis <fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry Berlin presents interesting ideas regarding the management and
circulation of expoX (X > 2).

>Perhaps there is a better way to distribute such a collection?
<<<Consider making multiple copies of each item

Not desirable.  My original Realist slides have a quality that is not
matched well in duplication. 
 
<<<The originals are retained by someone and most of it is scanned,
digitized or otherwise described and posted to a web site. 

[most of the rest of the ideas is a list of advantages of the
web/electronic distribution-route]

Larry, I don't doubt that this has many advantages as you outlined...
However, it is something different and not as intended to be used and
designed for.  The idea of expo is that people are expo-sed to different
formats and methods of viewing.  In a webpage you only have one format and
very specific ways of viewing.

I entered Realist format slides intended to be viewed in the supplied
Realist red button viewer (or in projection).  I could possibly participate
in an electronic expo but this is a different idea altogether.  It defeats
the original purpose of expo-sure to different types of 3d imaging.

You have a good idea.  But it is not expo.
