Okay friends:

As a Mac user, I too would love to try out Depthcharge.  But quite frankly,
I can't imagine calling for Mac development of Depthcharge, when I don't
see much use even among the PC crowd.

I've corresponded with one or two fans of depthcharge, only to find out
that they also do not use it, but just think that it's a great idea!

My digital stereo web page asks for users of depthcharge to click a button,
and so far no more than one out of about two hundred visitors claims to use
it.  Most of the visitors are probably users of "Wintel" PCs, for which
Depthcharge is freely available.

I realize that VRex is facing a conundrum here - that no one will bother
with Depthcharge until some decent .jps content becomes available, and that
content providers will not bother with .jps until they can see some more
visitors who would actually make use of the files....

I've been asked to put up .jps files and I can't even find the time right
now to put up anaglyphs - an easier task for me with a much broader base of
users who would appreciate it.

Respectfully submitted,

Boris
