Sigh. Why is it a company today has to start out with the cheapest, poorest
quality product at the beginning, instead of a high quality or even moderate
quality version? Would George Eastman, Ernst Leitz or Victor Hasselblad have
successed if their first cameras were cardboard disposables ? ?

A disposable I can certainly wait for. A REAL stereo camera is what I'd like
to see.
