Can someone point us to a site that explains X-10 from the ground up, including X-10 to Computer interface?

As far as Misterhouse itself, I have been using it for about 2 years now, and I really like it. It is very easy to customize (perl) and I let it announce things like the chance of rain, Weather alerts, new email, anouncement of iridium flares, and also you can give it commands via email.(like to turn on the AC or the lights before leaving work). It will process the commands, then email you back the conformation. It is fully modular and you decide which scipts you want it to load when it runs. You do not have to use all of them. I also use it with a hacked qnx 3com Audrey running a program called MrAudrey for a remote touch pad display. If you subscrbe to the Mrhouse mailing list, Bruce Winter will send out an update notification every month listing bug fixes, updates, and new perl script modules. The only problem I am having is getting it to work with my WX918 weather station, but all in all I am a very happy user. It runs under both windows XP and linux, and best of all it is free.
No, he's a *Spider*, he eats *insects* and some small vertibrates like the other Arachnids. (Although, as a kid in the 70's I had a friend that had a Tarantula that would drink beer from a bottlecap and walk sideways at times.)
please post a less expensive solution if one exists?
There are lots of DTV tuner cards available on EBAY, (Hauphauge Wintv-D comes to mind) for around $100 that include capture to disk.
I should have explained that I was an Engineer at AT&T Bell Labratories from 1977 to 1999, and my comments were based on the fact that the Unix System V (release 3) with extensions from from BSD 4.1 and 4.2 were ported to the AT&T PC 7300/3B1 computers that were popular in the mid 80's or so. Ironically, although we (AT&T) owned the Unix operating system, the powers that were in the mid 90's standardized on Microsoft Windows for the company. I still can't understand what they were thinking, but it wasn't the right choice, IMHO.

The oldest running ap, no doubt, is the collective telephone billing and call distribution system. (Runing Unix from the late 70's).

We don't have a sales tax in New Hampshire.I doubt any online sales companies based here would charge tax for other states, either.

BSD is for people that enjoy the way the Unix operating system works, while Linux is for people that hate Microsoft.
I still have my original Commodore 64 and a TRS-80, are they now worth something?
