Well I, for one, freely admit that I am far more interested in the
hardware than taking the software. That's why I was delighted the other
day to be given a hundred copies of historical stereo cards that I could
turn into an instant slide show.

It's also why I thrive on projecting other people's images at the
Stereoscopic Society's meetings. So much variety of media - 2 x 50 x 50
slides in carousels, the same in straight trays, realist type mounts in
RBTs, foils, cards, glass etc etc. Sound on cassette at single speed,
double speed, Dolby noise reduction, dbx noise reduction, 1000 hz
synchronising pulses, Arion pulses, Bassgen pulses, Imatronic pulses etc
etc etc

And this guy says I'm not creative - just because I don't take that many
pics???

Now, where did I put that medication...
