X10 can be a cost-effective and very reliable system for those who care to
put in some effort.

Actually, it is probably better that retail channels drop it because that
will get rid of many of the impulse buyers who are disappointed when it
doesn't work 100% right out of the box.  You know the ones - their VCRs
flashed 12:00 for years until manufacturers included automatic clock
setting.

How many of the "new and better" systems will still be around 30 years from
now?
