Jeff,

This is just one man's opinion, but I *hate* anaglyphs.  I'd rather look
at most any other format including lenticular, than anaglyph.  I find
the retinal rivalry so distracting, and so bad that I sometimes lose the
stereo effect because my brain just stops seeing that dull red image.
Please consider at least one image pair format, even if cross-eyed,
because even though it may not be as pleasant as "wall-eyed" viewing, at
least I can see it in stereo!

(BTW, I agree that the plastic lorgnette viewers do not work very well
on print images, let alone computer screens where they not only exhibit
chromatic aberration, they also magnify the phosphor dots and shadow
mask artifacts.)

    Thanks,
     -Greg W. (gjw@xxxxxxxxxx)
