Well actually there's some promotion where X10 is just throwing a 5-in-1 remote in with your order. I guess they figure if they throw in a remote with an X10 automation button, I might be tempted to order X10 automation stuff in the future. I am not so lazy that I can't get up to turn off a lamp, however, so this will probably be my only order from them. I'm not big into having surveilance cameras or turning on my coffee pot with a remote control.

This is the remote they threw in. Looks okay...

Thanks for all the info on IRMan and the X10 remote receiver product... It looks like IRman is more hackable and easier to use, and since the X10 software doesn't work under Win2K, it's an easy choice. I guess I'll be ordering an IRMan and trying it with the 5-in-1 remote that X10 threw in.
