They have four little buttons on the side for turning them on/off,
clear/shuttered, stereo and pseudo. People of course messed with these
a lot so the chances that you got them in the right mode is slim.

Actually, they are much cheaper than the Z-screens (from both SteroGraphics
and Tektronics) and they have better transmission and much less ghosting.
Great taste AND less filling.
Actually, if you wanted to show a roomfull of people a stereo image from
a projection monitor, then the z-screen is cheaper than buying a couple
dozen Crystal-Eyes.
Call a sales type for pricing.

Let us say, then, to summarize, that a mythology is an organization of images
conceived as a rendition of the sense of life, and that this sense is to be
apprehended in two ways, namely: 1) the way of thought, and 2) the way of
experience. As thought mythology approaches -or is a primative prelude to-
science; and as expierience it is precicely art. - Joseph Campbell
