Don, what kind of crummy gear was used to present 35mm stereo to these
guys so that they went away with "disdane"?  Quality 35mm slides projected
with a RBT projector (or preferebly two) by an experienced operator on to
a GOOD stereo screen (not less than 6 x 8 ft) will cure all the disdain,
this
I believe.  Remember, what you are talking about is purely relative and I
don't knock you for really loving your MF stereo.  However, it doesn't
follow that you should knock good 35mm projection.  If you want to knock
crappy stuff, well and good.
