	I find the best way to fisrt learn to view them, is to hold your 
fingertip about 3-4 inches in front of your eyes with the monitor about 3-4 
inches away.  Focus on your fingertip, then let your focus drift back to the 
screen without moving your eyes.  If you  do it right, you should see 4 *'s 
above your fingertip.  Now adjust your finger distance until the 2 middle *s 
look like one.  Then, look your eyes on the * and after your eyes adjust to 
the distance difference (anywhere from 5-30 sec) slowly drift down to the 
actual image, but be carefull not to lock on a particular part as it may 
cause you to loose the effect and you will need to start over.  This is also 
how I was first able to view the magic eye posters, and takes a lot less 
practice than trying to look through the image.
