	Some of us don't like to cross our eyes for more than a few seconds.
It hurts.  Besides, the rest of the "view" becomes blurry or doubled when
you do this.  Different colors work with filters (red on left eye, blue on
right) to seperate the views and produce a much less painful result.  LCD
shutter glasses are better, as they allow you color.

	Suprised to see "Ada" and "simple" in the same sentence :^)

	Amiga Basic?  You've got to be kidding.  On the flip side, though,
I've resorted to assembler (!) for pure speed.  I can rotate a 3D F16 at
16 frames a second.
