Hey Mark!! I couldn't get the audio from the PR; it says I have to download their free realtime player 7, but when I went to DL it, they said it was $29.95 or something (and came with a free set of steak knives) and since I was in a hurry at the time, I moved on. I forgot to go back and check again. Ooops! Anyway...for the demo, you don't need realplayer. Click that link, then go to demo. It is cool! It takes you to a picture of a room where you click on anything (well, most anything, don't bother clicking the tree, it wouldn't do anything for me!)and it gives you choices to adjust that item. Click the thermostat, a screen comes up to tell you what the temp is set on and gives you an option to change it. Click the window blind and it tells you how far down it is and gives you a choice to click to raise or lower it. Adjust the stereo, tv, dimmer switch, etc. Pretty neat. I could do all that sitting in my seat. I'm all for "energy preservation"! Just imagine if you were wheelchair bound and instead of calling someone to adjust every little thing, you could click on the ole computer and adjust it yourself. Independence for some...plain ole lazy for others! <g> OK...so I'm looking at this, and thinking it is potentially an amazing technology. Would LOVED to have seen them demo it at the conference. Try the demo again! E!
