Larry is going to need official approval, also. A paper clip bent so 
a sharp point is made is dangerous, especially to children. We must 
protect the children. Where do you put warning labels on a paper 
clip? "Don't eat this," "Don't stick this up your nose," "Don't 
insert this into an electrical outlet" are but a few of the warnings 
that'll be needed. It'll need as many warnings as a ladder.

I've already printed up the UL and OSHA approvals. It's amazing what 
you can do with a good color printer. My solution is value-added. It 
provides portability to a system normally requiring an internal 
combustion engine or global warming power plants. Think of my system 
as a hybrid. Larry's system is also economically dangerous. It 
reduces the perceived value of the IBUZ receiver. My Radio 
Flyer/Radio Shack/Diehard/Godzilla cable solution is more in line 
with the price points of the receivers themselves, thus giving the 
consumer a feeling of confidence that he's not getting scammed at the 
receiver level. In this case, two scams do make it right.
