Another of my interests is Home Automation, specifically a Mac program
called XTension (www.shed.com) that manages X-10 powerline-controlled
modules and lots of other stuff. XTension is heavily dependent on
AppleScript.
One of the program's great benefits is that it can run on almost any old
low-end Mac, which you can stick in a closet and talk to via Apple
Events.
This is a long prelude to the complaint that scripted events don't work
between OS X machines and older ones. This functionality has been
totally broken since OS X came out and is apparently not even fixed in
Jaguar.
Paranoid that I am, I'm thinking that Apple has no intention of ever
making this work because they want us all to scrap our old hardware and
buy new OS X machines.
Does anyone on this list have any insight I could share with my HA
buddies? Thanx in advance.
