Our new product line is as follows:

MouseHouse 2.0 Upgrade $45
---------------------------
For registered users of MouseHouse 1.0.x. Customers who purchased
MouseHouse 1.0.x
after 4/1/98 are entitled to a free upgrade of version 2.0.

MouseHouse 2.0 Lite $35
------------------------
This software is nearly identical to version 1.0 of MouseHouse, with a new low price.
This version only supports the aging CP290 but does NOT include support for macros, nor sunrise and sunset.

MouseHouse 2.0 Pro Price TBD
------------------------------
This product is scheduled to be released in 1999. It will allow more powerful event scheduling such as two-way if-then and numerous audio and video capabilities. These powerful features will require that it run on a Mac that remains powered on.

MouseHouse Cable for ActiveHome $20
-------------------------------------
Unless you build your own cable, this will be required to connect ActiveHome hardware to your Macintosh.

You will need to purchase the ActiveHome hardware from Home Automations Systems (www.smarthome.com or 1-800-SMARTHOME). Our large production run of CD-ROMs will not be completed for some time, so HAS will not yet have MouseHouse 2.0. Within the next few months we plan to offer a MouseHouse/ActiveHome bundle through HAS and over the Internet. The bundle will include MouseHouse 2.0, the ActiveHome cable, and the ActiveHome hardware kit. We do not expect any price breaks on the bundle.
