I never saw this unit made by General Electric, although I understand they made a bunch for Radio Shack to put their name on. I never saw Radio Shack really trying to sell it (for what it was really worth - probably about $150) until they had their big "closeout sale" ($60) about a year and a half ago. I bought mine back then (in college) knowing I had no use for it but that some- day I'd be able to. I've now been using it for about nine months, and it's really awesome! A whole house timer and everything! }Also I was wondering if anyone that has one, has ever modified one to }respond to an outside input(i.e. temp, switch closure or sound)? I never really thought about mods, but if anyone knows about any, please send them on to me. However, there is _one_ thing I'm curious about - if you hit "0" while looking at the main menu, it says "Do you want to use both a phone answering machine and the phone function on the Homeminder? 1=yes, 2=no". Does anyone know what this is for? Does it put it into a "ringback mode" or something? There's no reference to it in the manual - in fact, the manual says if you want to use a phone answering machine on the same line, unplug the phone line from the HomeMinder. This new "feature" I found, doesn't say anything after choosing either yes or no. }Any help greatly appreciated. Same for me... -- ----- Steve Lemke ------------------- "MS-DOS (OS/2, etc.) - just say no!" ----- Internet: cpdaux!steve@apple.com GEnie: LEMKE ----- Or try: apple!cpdaux!steve CompuServe: 73627,570 ----- Quote: "What'd I go to college for?"
