Thanks for the heads up Bryan.

The Z800 turned up in other research and we're seriously considering it,
along with the I-glasses PC/SVGA 3D Pro.

We noted that the Z800s can be bought direct from the manufacturer,
eMagin.

The eMagin site links to 3dvisor.com - presumably a subsidiary site -
which sells the unit for $1,499.00, a $300 difference to the tekgear
reseller, in case anyone's looking to buy one.

Price point on the 3D pro is very attractive [relatively speaking] at
$1,199.

Thanks also for the Gyration info - we've sunk our teeth into the
'gyromouse' concept and are looking deeper thanks to you.

Cheers,

Dom.
