Like talking about realist viewers or film processing.  That
is, things for looking at stereo pictures or processing of
the stereo image storage medium. 

When talking about web showing of stereo images and the HTML
involved, that's the analogue of discussing the innnards of 
TDC projectors!  Both are used to show stereo images to
many people at once.

Should we not talk about the crummy graphics that simple viewer
lenses (like Kodaslide 1's) give one's stereo images?

Just as one shouldn't go too far discussing HTML one
shouldn't go too far discussing projector fan motor
technology (although that was talked about for a while
once without objection).

Like talking about those plastic pages for holding realist
slides, or talking about realist-format plastic fishing 
cases, or other methods of holding/storing stereo images.

You got me on that one, true or false.  Shouldn't talk
about mac/windows, which text editor is best, which O/S
is best, or religion.  All of those are religion.

Should we leave out all the film-system analogues too?

I think the last 100 or so stereo-pairs that I've taken
were all done with a digital camera.  No film, no realist
mounts, no plastic holder pages, no projector heat
absorbing glass.  This means I can't post anything
whatsoever in photo-3d about my stereo photography
activities?
