- Yup! About 6 months ago in one of those Home Business/Enterprise/Small
- Business/Franchise Opportunity/Whatever magazines, I noted a new franchise

- From the picture in the ad, it looked like the guy had set up a snazzy X-10
- demo arrangement in a briefcase that one could take into peoples homes to
- sell them on smart electronic stuff.
