Yes your perfectly right in that regard and I overlooked it in my haste.
Thanks for the correction. But it doesn't change the fact that it
shouldn't have been marketed as a children's viewer, which is what I should
have stated. If they were really serious in marketing this as a children's
viewer, they could have maybe decreased the reel diameter. This might have
resulted in a few less pictures but at least our poor 3D deprived children
would have something to look at. Fewer 3D pics is better than no 3D pics.
;-) In any case I still love the VM viewer, 3Discover and soon the Red
Button. Told you I do everything backwarddds. ;-)

Regards
Gabriel
