Per previous discussion, stereo cameras have other uses too.... 
doorstops, paperweights, weapons, display/conversation pieces, etc.

Bingo!  Photo-3d is *not* the list to teach people how to use computers
effectively, to, say, send email messages in the Internet (in photo-3d, for
example) or type letters to the Editor of Stereo World.  (This is my
personal opinion, anyway)

I don't know.  Ask the moderators (I am no longer one of "them")
