I'm not saying throw it away when it is working for you.
And some people like vinyl records. Maybe
"move away" is a better term.

But if you look at the messages on this newsgroup,
a fair number of people are not as smart, talented and
good looking as you.

But X10 isn't as accessable as people expect.
I don't know if ZigBee is really the answer, but
I sure think that finding out if the automation industry
can broaden out is likely to yield better returns.
All IMHO, of course.
