I'll vouch that what John says is true. I actually saw him get up and walk!

I think a lot of people are "put off" by trying to make the decoupled
relationship of viewing an image "off" the the screen. Those who are used to
it, don't mind. But those who are familliar with SL3D first, and then see
DL3D, generally don't like the grief.

I tend to agree... sort of. And personally, I'd prefer to see fewer slides
shot at f/16, and a lot more like what a "flattie" photographer might try
for, maybe even wider.
