I second that!

Yes, but it should be pointed out that there are different levels
of involvement.  There is nothing technical in enjoying a VM reel.
Shooting a roll of slides, and enjoying the Kodak-mounted slides
in a red button viewer is not very technical (other than having
to use a manual stereo camera). But, the further one goes, the more
complicated it gets.

However, I do remember someone who showed up in this list saying that
taking slides with twin cameras and projecting them with twin projectors
seems to be a piece of cake, so what was all this fuss about?  Do you? :-)
