Charmed Quark - automation software

[lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

A rarity (for me!) - a 100% ON topic post ;)

Thinking about getting the Arcam AVR300 amp mentioned elsewhere, I
stumbled across this software:
http://www.charmedquark.com/index.htm

this is yet another home automation controlling program, though it
controls some more esoteric devices such as dvd players, A/V amps etc.

Thought it might be of interest to some of you, and was wondering has
anyone had any experience of this and/or has any comments on it?

And has anyone from the xAP/xPL camp been talking to Arcam to get them to
support one of their protocols, since the amps are PC conrollable? ;)

cheers,

T.
