RE: MTC/USA "One For All" (URC-5000) Programmable remote

This remote controller, mentioned briefly in the June/July and
August/September Circuit Cellar INK, sounds interesting because it it
knows about X10 (there is an X10 gateway available) and can *learn*
the IR commands from other IR remotes. I would like to know how it
compares in features with the Memorex CP8 universal remote. How can
one obtain this remote?

Generically, I would like a universal remote that has the same
features as the Memorex (timers, can learn sequences), but also
expands the number of buttons. The Yamaha remote looks interesting as
well but it does not have any timers.

Radio Shack is selling out their version of the Memorex CP8. Does
anybody know what they will be comming out with top replace it?

Remotely yours,
