Now that you mention it, I do remember reading an article in _II Alive_
about that.  (Some sort of X-10 controller, was it?)  I too would be
interested to learn about anyone's experience with this.  Was/is it
expensive?


Also, I remember seeing an ad for (way back in an ancient issue of A+, I
think) an armatron robot you could hook up to your computer.  It was a
little robot arm that you could program your computer to move, pick up,
turn, etc.  I've seen the ones at radio shack that have independent
controls w/o a computer and I've seen computer ones work on a 286, but I
don't know anything about the ones for Apple II.  Has anyone ever had any
experience with these?  Can they still be found?  Cheap?  

Thanks,
Tim
