What is an Anderson Cooper? Some pompous twit or other, I suspect. My favourite
of catching some unintended action was a CBS correspondent (Barry Petersen, I
think) who intoned a sonorous news report from the balcony of a Cairo (Egypt)
hotel shortly after an attempted coup. When the report was done the camera
panned down and Mr. CBS was revealed to be wearing a nice sport coat, shirt,
tie and tighty whiteys. And that's all - no shoes or socks ... or pantaloons
either.

Try to get one with the mesh still intact. OR, if you get a solid - that the
fibreglass has not delaminated. And try to avoid the "buttonhook" style LNB
attachments. They look more elegant than the prosaic three or four leg fitments
- but are not nearly as stable.

You may also be given the 12' post on which the dish is mounted. You'll need
help with that. And a couple shovels, a sledgehammer, and possibly a
ome-along.

Discovered a Uniden 1100 satellite receiver in cleaning out some stuff
yesterday afternoon (my day off) but all the caps had leaked and needed
replacement with monolithics ... about U$85 just in parts. So it went off to
the local electronics recycler along with a couple of defunct glass tube
monitors. But, I came home with a Light-scribe DVD burner for my Gateway
laptop. So the trip was a success.
