We are considering a sterio system, but still have a couple of misgivings. Is the multisinc Mitsubishi monitor they use for stereo as good as the standard monitor for normal (non-stereo) viewing? Is the CrystalEyes visor rugged enough to survive in a moderately chaotic environment? Can it survive being dropped, or thoughtless cleaning techniques? I'd appreciate anyone willing to share their experience in these areas. Len Sweeney LES@SLACVM.BITNET les@citsgi.SLAC.Stanford.EDU

I don't speak officially for SGI. -- There are 336 dimples on the standard golf ball.

To answer your questions...
1. The Mitsubishi monitor used for stereo is BETTER then the standard
monitor! It's brighter, converges better, and sharper! You'll like it.
2. StereoView (CrystalEyes) glasses are moderately rugged. Obviously
they have glass lenses, which can be cracked. The rest of the unit is
quite strong and unlikely to be damaged in any lab environment.
We are coming up with a fixed price lens replacement cost, and do it
in one day.
