Another person to contact is Norm Goldblatt with a company called Optrix. He
makes a small plastic viewer for stereograms, and recently has been making a
slightly different version to view side by side images on computer screens.
He might be able to assist with information or pricing. Here's his email
address. He used to be on P3D and may still be subscribed...

(I looked for Mark Bennet's previous message and personal email address but
didn't find it, so hopefully he's reading the P3D posts...)
