Hints:
1)
Remove any plastic bags - dead giveaway of new t ys.
2)
Anything that doesn't have batteries in it which should have has to be new
-
if it has to have batteries put in Duracells so that it looks like you've
had it long enough to have used the "name" set that came with it
new.
3)
An attic crawling with spiders is a good thing when the wife is scared of
them.
4)
Hide new t ys in places where she's never likely to find them - in my case
this is in the garage, in the attic, in the airing cupboard, in the washing
machine or in the cupboard where we keep the hoover.
5)
Soaps are not an annoying 30 minutes where you can't watch "Men and motors"
or whatever - it's a safe haven when you're not going to be discovered
bringing in the latest t y.
6)
Pronto's are an essential item - before you buy one spend time producing
your CCF with ProntoEdit and get it as near perfected as possible by
testing
on the emulator. Then all you have to do is pipe over your config and learn
the controls and you're away. *DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LOAD AN
UNTESTED CCF INTO YOUR PRONTO* The pronto won't care a bit but if anything
doesn't work right it'll put the missuses back up and she'll hate it. Get
it
right and - like with me - if it ever breaks she'll be demanding
another!

Thanks for all the replys on is there
any good HA books out there.
I have to admit that a few weeks ago
I knew nothing about HA, but thanks to
this board and a lot of web
sites I now know a little.
I will keep my money and spend it on
something worthwhile, I could put it
towards a Pronto.
Phil where
is a good hiding place from SWMBO
Cheers

I bought the Wiring book and found it ok, but not as good as
this list or
any net resources out there. It is very US based.
