I have to jump in here to defend ADI.  Being a wizard on imbedded system
design doesn't make one a wizard on HTML or JAVA.  They are different
skills.  And I would rather have someone who focuses his full effort on
hardware designing my automation equipment.

Our Ocelot runs 24/7 week after week with no glitches.  That is expected of
industrial automation equipment, which is where the Ocelot came from.
People here talk about X10 not being reliable.  I would never trust my
automation to a PC running 24/7, at least not using any M$ software more
complicated than DOS.
