I just ordered a pair of SEGA LCD glasses, they cost around $40. They haven't
arrived yet but I will post if I get them to work. Contrary to popular opinion
the Mac and Amiga arnt the only machines around that can do graphics, a 386sx
with 1024X768X256 color VGA is around $2000 (including monitor and harddrive).
