That's absolutely NOT TRUE!  This was one of the best-mounted
slide programs I have ever projected.  There was absolutely no
vertical misalignment.  The stereo window was consistenly placed
but some shots from the air (through charter planes) had parts
of the plane too close to the camera.

I was amazed at the mounting skills of these people (more later)
but the answer might be in the mounts they use: EMDE.  I have
said this before... The EMDE mounts are the best for fool-proof
mounting.

Well Mark when you want to make a point, you make a point! 
There was only one slide jam during the actual show while there
were several during practice (before the show, Mark was not
there).  The reason for the jam is that the Aluminum EMDE mounts
were kept in EMDE foldovers.  They were a bit thin and some of
them will go off the main track.  But I found a system to put
them in and avoid this jam, that's why it only happened ONCE
during the show.

Overall, this program (available for loan to clubs by PSA) was
excellent, with many great scenic views!
