Things that can cause eyestrain when looked at for extended periods is
worse than worthless?   I think we discovered why 3D died in the late
50's...... :-(

Sorry, didn't mean to.  I may have misinterpretted what you said.

You may very well be right.  It certainly would matter a lot on the
imlementation.  Certainly on a 14" VGA screen, one might have to 
scroll with only a few words on the screen, while on my hi-res
25" trinitron monitor I'm using now it may be a lot more usable.

I think it'd depend just how "bad" (or good) it is.

I'm going to the Cascade Stereo Club meeting tonight, but I think
I'll play with scanning tomorrow night.  You may be right and it's
really terrible (for the text).  I suspect the images will scan
okay.  It's not like the NSA printing is as good as the German
3D-Magazin's printing to begin with.

       cheap?  :-)
