Thanks for the explanation. I was pulling Don's leg a little. He really help

X10 was marketed to Radio Shack in 1978 and the first review of it was
in 1979. So it's a lot closer to 22 years old. Motorola had limited
produced the 6809 in 78/79 (no where near '71). Wasn't this issue
cleared up before? I think Don just missed a digit by one.

Yes, that begs the question: how old is X-10? CoCo's are 20+, but how old is
X-10?
Eric Yes Eric, I also use X-10 to control the lights
in my house. It is
handled by the small controller that plugs into a wall socket and is
programmed by a Radio Shack Color Computer. It has been chuggig along
for about 30 years.
Uhhhh, I think that that would be TWENTY years, unless that was a very
early preproduction prototype of the Coco.
