Drew;

Cherry Pickers (from Terayon) have only been around for about 6 years or so.
They are less likely to be used in broadcast operations than cable -- I'd
say that the Logic Innovations TSS/TMS-2800 is a broadcast-centric
equivalent to a simple cherry picker, although the people i know at LI would
probably have a problem with that view.
