(probably
tricky with the mss100 as well)

hub kit  a while back ......I*might* get some acrylic legs made like that

be able to generically control any number of devices, kind of like a
universal remote control, but there was nothing on the market. It was about
6 months later that xAP was born, and consequently, xPL. I am now very much
into using xPL for what I can (I can't develop programs, can't build
components or devices, but I sure can USE in anger...)
