****  Someone who noticed this problem, went out and invented electronic
books. There is no reason to suppose a similar step couldn't be taken for
stereo image albums. Digital is digital, not necessarily requiring a large
heavy computer. Combine a lenticular or barrier method viewing screen, with
a dedicated processing and storage system on small chips...

BTW, a blank CD costs very close to the cost of an RBT plastic mount..., yet
holds much more than a single pair of images!
