If you haven't already heard, the "Home Automation Boom" is coming.  That's why
major players like Sony, Philips, Panasonic, General Instrument, AT&T, Texas 
Instruments, RCA, Mitsubishi, and Johnson Controls are involved with the CEBus 
Home Automation project.  If you missed the "PC Boom" and the "Video Tape Rental
Boom", then go for it!!

Here's a hot tip... Electronic House Magazine ("The Journal of Home Automation")
lists the following classified ad (one of 3 ads total) on page 32 of the Jan'90
issue:		
		CASH IN on the home automation boom! Start your own business
		and earn big profits part-time or full-time. FREE Information
		Packet, send $2 postage and handling: Free Information Offer,

Good stuff.  I recommend it.   For those nieve X-10 hackers who don't get
Electronic House, the number is 219/256-2060 (bi-monthly, $14.95/year).
Another good one is Audio/Video Interiors (818/784-0700)--lots beautiful color
photos of remote controlled mansions, automated dream homes, pop-out-of-the-
floor TV systems, a/v media rooms, etc., controlled drapes, hidden speaker 
systems, skydomes, etc.  A beautiful coffee-table magazine.  Circuit Cellar
Ink (203/875-2199) is a great hacker publication which often talks about home 
automation (bi-monthly, $14.95/year).
