    I do believe ther's a bit of ageism going on here - I had way too many of these items and I'm far too far away from the 30-something catagory.

    Yeah, great link. I had a Viewmaster (among others) and this made me laugh like a loon:

    "Pleasingly, the unreliable trigger mechanism that advanced the discs around the viewer could often result in slight misalignments of the two cells used to create the illusion for each scene. Therefore it was a piece of p1ss to simulate the kind of imperfect vision normally associated with migraine or astigmatism."
