Unfortunately, in my case, I find it easy to cross my eyes but find it
almost impossible to unfocus. Guess I am "focally challenged" :-).
(I *w*a*s* able to unfocus for one image, ONCE.)

  The problem with some lawyers is that they don't know the difference between
	"legal" and "ethical". And, they're the ones who make the laws.
