Thinking of customer support, once I called a satellite TV company to
ask about a HDTV DVR, and was asked "How many mushrooms to you have on
your dish?".


I remember hearing (this is OT) about when the Aleutian islands (that
string of islands that sort of goes from Alaska to Siberia) first got
radio dishes (not sure whether it was for direct or satellite), the
natives found the dishes a good place to use for drying fish ...


Maybe that would provide enough moisture for mushroom growth.

Was that Arthur C. Clarke's original paper (in Wireless World), 194x I
think, about communications satellites?


Sounds familiar.

What struck me on reading it wasn't the manned status, but that they
involved steam power to drive the generators! I think when that paper
was written, photovoltaics as a source of energy were just a novelty,
certainly not capable of generating enough power to power the valves
(toobs) then current.
