[net.rec.photo] viewing slides

    I recently bought my first 35mm camera.  I really enjoy
    taking pictures and do alot of experimenting.  I was
    told that if you want to learn from your mistakes it is
    best to take pictures with slide film.  Some print labs
    use equipment that can "compensate" for your mistakes.

    My questions are as follows.  I do not have a slide projector.
    I do not wish to invest into one until I decide if I am going
    to keep this up as a hobby.  Does anybody know of anything
    that I could buy just to look at individual slides? I guess
    I envision some kind of hand held device that I would magnify
    the slide. You know, like how a viewmaster works.  Do you
    think that I would be able to get a good look at my slides
    through something like this?

    Thanks for any comments.
