And what is wrong with that? :-)

Sorry, I have been busy lately...

So far, all I have seen is a bunch of postings telling us something that we
already know.  Anyone who visited his site and knows a little bit about how
stereo works, KNOWS and understands that what this guy claims to have done
is IMPOSSIBLE.  The Inventor has not replied and, as far as I am concerned,
the issue is closed.  

I am still laughing with Bill Davis' and Mark Dottle's postings.  As the
ancient Greeks said, there is nothing bad without something good following
it.  Thanks guys!!!

PS.  BTW, I agree with John R.  Maybe polarized projection has been the way
to show movies but 3d movies never caught up.  I saw my first 3d movie in
Atlanta (NSA 1994) and my second, and last one, last summer in Sea World.  
Growing up in Greece there were no 3d movies in the 50s and 60s.  But, as 
children, we were all familiar with View Master.
