There are plenty of other sources of X10 stuff out there. X10 is simply a protocol. It's unfortunate that the x10.com domain went to the jerks it did, because most people don't realize that there are other vendors out there. Try smarthome.com. Hell, try Radio Shack, they sell X10 stuff too.

use spamassasin for email and squid+squidguard to block the spam. I use X10 to control christmas lights, different other lights remotely but most importantly my iguanna's cage lights via cron.

X10 controllers are available from many sources other than x10.com.
