With that particular slide (which was generally dark and flash-lit toward
the upper features) it was difficult to see the cut-off, even in my 
Themelized red-button.  Background was black, as are the edges inside
of the viewer.  I'm sure it'd jump out if George looked at it, but
I guess my eyes are still too klutzy.

I certainly agree to that.

P.S. -  For locals: the particular slide I'm talking about is the one with
        a scarecrow taken in Vegas's MGM Grand yellow brick road.  Of
        course, chopping the waist of a strawman might be acceptable.  :-)


P.P.S. -  In my new house I've room (I think) for projection in my 
         "hobby room" so I may be able to check things out w/o having 
          to terrorize the dining/living area like I had to in my 
          previous home.  I may be able to start bringing slides to my 
          stereo club again (they are projected there).  I *want* to 
          projection-test them first even if 90% of the time my mounting 
          is correct anyway.  I want it to be horrible because of my 
          photographic skill, not because I didn't check it out first.  :-)
