I was down today at a friend’s antique store in Pine, and decided to grab this old Viewmaster, which I remember fondly as a kid, clicking my way through the seven wonders of the world, seeing the Grand Canyon in its tinted technicolor.
Now I need to find some discs.
Take that, Toy Boy Jim Groom, you have no monopoly on love of toys!
Perhaps this was one my early interests in multimedia.

You need discs? :)
Yeah, the store I was at did not have any, and the ones I had as a kid are long gone. I’ve got some ebay bids in– you got some??
I loved the viewmaster–the picture with the gun pointed at you was very real but creepy! I also remember the discs we had with the Grimms fairy tales. Hope you can find some discs…
worth considering a story the likes of Sherry Turkle’s Evocative objects. Things we think with.
