Default x10.com - any good?

I'm trying to find info on X10.com. I've found lost of info but I thought I'd come to a source that I put a little more trust into... CalgaryPuck.

Anybody know anything about X10.com. Just looking at the site it makes me leery about their credibility. I looked, and there seems to be mixed reviews. I don't know, something about the site makes me think that its just a rip off or a hassle.

Anybody have any experiences?

I have no comment on the quality of their products, but I long ago swore to never give them any business since they were one of the first and most prominent companies to use super-annoying "pop-under" web advertising.

A friend of mine actual used their hardware under a Linux project and it worked really well. (MisterHouse)

And like MarchHare, I am not a fan of their with their early pop-under advertising, but their actual products do seem to fill a niche.
