All this talk about monitors and projects get me thinking about a couple of
things I would like to see.  One is involved with the question of can the
upc be made to drive two monitors at the same time but having two different
pictures.  Somewhere long ago I read about an optical illusion experiment
that involves making two cones and painting the insides flat black.  Where
they can be put side by side and at the small end you cut off just enough of
the points so that you can put your eyes to the holes like binoculars.  At
the center of the far end of each cone you put a tiny lite source. like a 
pin hole of light.  When some one looks in there eye can be fooled into 
thinking that they are looking at one spot with a pair of binoculars.
If you then cause the spots to move in some directions you get a 3 D effect.
  I don't know anything about computer's video programming and hardware that
would tell me how to construct such a device.  If it worked I was wondering
if you put two text strings scrolling accross the screen, first in the same
language but then one word in one eye was replaced by spanish or chinese 
kanji or something like that ...
