A few days ago someone from Canpus put a message out on Sell-3D offering
their system to anyone on Photo-3D for a considerable discount. I don't
have the message any longer, so can't say exactly what the discount was,
but I believe it was in the neighborhood of $70 less than this price.
Can soneone from there re-send the offer?

Anyway, at that price it is a steal IMHO. Not only do you get an
excellent 4 MB video board, but also a "3D" sound daughterboard (which
is fantastic) and a pair of 3D Spex glasses to enjoy JPS images on the
web with. Yes, slides ar nice... Prints are nice, but a well made JPS is
better! (Again, my opinion!)
