The software to which I refer is used on the Macintosh to allow a user
to configure the X10 controller.  A long time ago, I saw a one-time
advertisement for a company who sold an X10 controller that could be
hooked up to the serial port of a Macintosh Plus.  Software ran on the
Mac that allowed the user to program the X10 using a nice interface.
The software could then be quit and the Mac powered down, leaving the
controller to execute the newly-downloaded event configuration.

This seemed like a really optimal setup for anyone serious about using
the X10 automated controllers.

Also in Dave's response, he mentions Fry's as a place that sell X10
the X10 controller.   Does anyone have an address for this place?
What kind of dealer is this?  Any additional information is
appreciated.

Thanks
