RE: Wired Article

["Aidan Williamson" <fluff@xxxxxxx>]

Hence the "promotion" comment. On the upside the more mainstream
HA becomes
the wider the choice of products & better the reliability (unless of
course
microsoft run it all). There was an article in the use of HA tech in that
wasn't so strong on the advertising (through the mag is very pro tech for
those not familiar) relating to old peoples homes & using tech to give
them
more liberty (depending on your views on surveilence). Quite intersting,
but
not online until the 13/11/01.
