Well that means you immediately have something in common with
most of the list members!  ;-)

The renoknowned DrT responded to this already; I might just add
that P3D's own Bill Davis compiled an excellent listing of options
for Realist format film processing.  You can find it in the archives
http://calcite.rocky.edu/photo-3d/p3d/ghindex.html with a search for
"realist format labs."

Stereo slides can be a lot more realistic than that!  My wife was
showing a few of my slides to some co-workers.  One image was of
some flowers (from my first attempt at single camera close-up stereo.)
One of the comments made by one of the folks looking at the slide
was along the lines of "Wow, look you can even see that bug in the
picture *moving*!"  

Turns out a tiny spider had gotten on one film chip and was crawling
around while the image was being viewed.  Even after dispatching
the spider, however, some of the observers still wondered whether
is was really possible to see something *move* in a Realist-
format stereo slide!
