Are your issues the same as mine (I have never gotten a look at Lotus, so I don't know what the client is seeing). 1) Meetings do not get updated, they need to be cancelled and rescheduled with the new information. 2) Sometimes, apparently (again, I don't know what it looks like from their side) cancellations don't show up, but it is clearly off my calendar. 3) There is no way to make a change here (include more attendees, change rooms) without it causing some sort of clusterfuck on the Lotus end.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Even when everyone's in Outlook, making modifications to recurring meetings can be a nightmare, IME.
Yeah, I haven't ever seen in Lotus Notes myself, but they're usually the ones scheduling things, and it was specifically mentioned this morning the issues with (a) meeting changes adn (b) recurring meetings not showing up more than the once.
Yeah, P-C consistently registers between 34 and 38 megafonzies.
Hee!!
My favorite is the "helen" for beauty. 1 millihelen is enough to launch 1 ship.
Ha, nice.
Anyone here ever done any X10 home automation?
I have, but it was at least 10 years ago.
Is it still the first choice for home automation, or has something else come to the fore? Not that I see myself owning a home in this state, more just idly curious about the state of things.
my friend J says:
I switched from X10 to Insteon. Insteon is backwards compatible with X10 but has benefits like acknowledgments from devices (make sure the switch is *really* on (for the most part)).
I tend to think in terms of things like Crestron and AMX nowadays, but those are kinda overkill for home install I guess.

I have used Smarthome for some other purchases and they've been very good. They have both X10 and Insteon.
