RE: activehome 1.3 and win2000

But also try Autom8it if you want _free_ software....

Homeseer is good (I use it), but it's $80....

Make no mistake, I think it's worth every penny of that, but when you're at
the water, toes, and dipping stage, it might be prudent to start playing
with the stuff that available FOC first....

£0.02

PS, I believe the price of Homeseer is just about to to go up when the new
version 1.6 is released imminently...
