I have to agree with George. We'll use my wife for an example. She
enjoys looking at all of the stereo photos I take, and is interested in
the final product, but has no desire to learn how to operate a real
camera, she has a panic attack if the camera isn't a "PHD" model, ("Push
Here Dummy) so teaching her how to operate my Realist, or Kodak is out
of the question. A few months back I showed her a Loreo listed on ebay,
and to my surprise she wanted it, but only because it was a point and
shoot and no mounting was required. (the idea of one hour processing
excited her also) 
So I think the Loreo serves it's purpose well. I think it's a great way
to get the general public interested in Stereo. If you factor in the new
low price, ease of use and lack of further time commitment that goes
into slide mounting (or print mounting for that matter)  AND the kit
comes complete! You don't have to spend $100 for the camera and then
when you finally get a roll through it, have to turn around and invest
another $50-$150 for something to view your photos with.

Just a thought,
Darren
