Re: SAMG meeting Friday 9/4/99 - The Clipsal C-Bus Automation system. (fwd)

Hi Guys,
	I was working on a Software Engineering Project through Flinders
University a couple of years ago on Smart Houses that were going to be used
in Mawson Lakes Estate when it was run by the MFP. We looked at exactly
this product and decided that it was great. If you might be interested in
smart houses or stuff like that, I well recommend going to this meeting.
Unfortunately I am working 4pm-Midnight tonight, otherwise I would be
there. <sniff>

	Cheers!
		Andrew.
