	The Sega glasses are excellent; much better than the StereoTek
glasses for the ST, at half the price.

	The Sega glasses work well with the hardware we've developed.  You
should be seeing a 3D experimenter's kit for the Amiga Real Soon Now (sorry,
not even I know the exact release date).

	For interested parties, we've been having a minor argument about how
to do 3D over in comp.graphics....
