Oh yea.  I have one of those, too.  It's kind of interesting, but I wasn't
overly impressed.  The interface to the software is a little weird, and I'd
just as soon use one of the normal dedicated timer controllers.  Don't
remember where, but I remember seeing them on major sale somewhere for
around $25.  Maybe it was DAK?  Fry's has 'em.  Don't remember what price.

Whoops.  Sorry about that.  Fry's has both grocery and electronic/computer
stores.  And stores that are combinations of both.  I think they're all
around silicon valley only.  (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
Don't know if they do mail order.
