     I stayed up all night to watch that, half asleep in a chair wrapped in a 
blanket.  Little did I know until recently that there was a tremendous drama 
taking place in Australia to receive those video images.  If you have an 
opportunity, go find a copy of "The Dish" which gives a dramatised story of 
that event.
