When I made that statement, I withheld some information.

I have played with digital camera's (mostly other people's), but I
haven't linked any yet. What I've seen hasn't impressed me enough to
spend the money to buy a couple of digital cameras (I estimated I'd be
looking at $1200 - if I could convince my wife of that, it would be a
small jump to convince her of an RBT).

And really now, try to convince me that carrying a pair of linked
digital camera's are going to weigh less than a Realist. They're
certainly going to be bulkier (time for a BIG camera bag).

Also I have no interest in anaglyph or prints. I have a viewer, it is a
convenient means of displaying stereo, and fairly compact. If I had a
digital equivalent that didn't require carrying around a laptop
computer, I'd be interested.

Finally, as Mark Dottle pointed out, my Realist looks cool. I imagine if
I walked around with a linked digital pair, I would get stares but
little interest. Much to my wife's concern, my Realist has turned into a
real chick* magnet.

* my apologies to those who find the term "chick" offensive. I mean it
with the greatest respect.
