I've decided it's simpler to live with the Monterey's limitations and keep
reading up on .  I'm falling so far behind on my project list that I may
never see daylight.  Worse, still, I am committed to going to an "open
house" this weekend to look at outrageously priced real estate.  Want to
know when the real estate bubble will burst?  Right after I buy a home that
I can barely afford!

The Stamp unit looks like it might be ideal to create a home "sensor web" of
audio, video and other inputs that's capable of talking to Dallas 1 wire
components as well as X-10.
