Having just ducked out of the poolside (and pool-inside) anaglyph movie
showing which was hurting my eyes and ears a bit - =) - so here are a few
quick comments before a much needed rest! ;-)

This has been a great convention. It is good to catch up with, and meet so
many other good friends from contacts on the Internet! The slide show were
out of this world - I especially enjoyed the David Klutho/Ron Labbe show
that was created for, and used to convince the SI "suits" that a 3D
production was worth doing. The workshops were great as well - thanks Tom
Deering, David Lee and George Freeman for your excellent efforts in the ones
I attended. The APEC meeting was fun - again, good to see folks you deal
with on a regular basis.

I am also thrilled to have my copy of Mary Ann and Wolfgang's new Viewmaster
book - this looks like quite an amazing book!! Get yours soon!! The hotel
has been nice, the staff friendly, and the NSA Y2K convention folks - out of
this world. My only complaint is that there is still too much to see, too
many people to see, etc, etc, etc... I have been here since Tuesday night
and here on Saturday night (leaving in the morning) it seems like only
minutes since we all arrived. Time does fly when you are having fun!

Mary Ann Sell is the NSA's new President and Shab Levy is now our Vice
President. Ray Zone was the keynote speaker at the awards banquet tonight.
He delivered a great "talk" moving me and many others with his passion for
the whole "3D" thing and the people involved. You did VERY well Ray and I
appreciate your message. NO MORE VULCANIZATION OF 3D!! =) (Slap me if I ever
do that!!)

I got to show a few people some parts of the next version of my web site. I
hope the rest of you like it as it. That should be "out there" soon. I also
picked up one of those viewer Harry Richards was talking about on these
lists a week or so ago. Wow! I was not in the market for another viewer, but
this little pocket viewer with large glass lenses is really amazing. Harry
tell everyone more before you place that next order to Germany!

That is all I can think of at the moment... There is much more I am sure,
but it's time to rest! Anyone else want to chime in?

for me on the way home!
