I didn't need to ask you, George. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion
of Realist photography is well known. The Realists are extinct, their power
vanished from the universe. Now - witness the power of this FULLY OPERATIONAL
2D -> 3D CONVERTER!

As you can see, your cause is lost, and, uh, your friends on the forest moon
will not survive!

Ahhh, I can feel your indignation. Go ahead! I am not armed with a Realist.
Take your Realist - throw it at me! - and your journey to the Computer Side
of 3D will be complete!
