P3D 3d experience

Hello all,

I have probably shown my stereo slides to at least 40 people (that
have never seen a realist format slide before) in the last 2 months. 
I have noticed some odd behavior that keeps popping up in these people:

1) Almost all of them hold the red button viewer up to the light, or a
window, and then push the button. Even after I point out that they
don't need to.

2) Alot of them push the button a couple of times after looking at the
image, and ask, "How do you get it to the next image?".  Although most
actually turn the focussing knob, then ask the same thing.

3) Most ask what kind of special film is it.

4) Many say, "Wow, so you just put 2 of the same image in this viewer
thingy, and then it looks 3-D"

5) The thing that bugs me, is when they say, "Can you print these out?"

I find it really funny that so many people have the same reactions. 
Many of these reactions are directly related to experiences they had
as kids looking through a viewmaster (or viewfinder, as many of them
are under the delusion that viewmaster was called).

Have any of you had simmilar experiences when showing your slides?

Lincoln
