Million dollar deal in my email says 4 of these for $20.99 but when you click on the link it takes you to this:
http://www.x10.com/promotions/ws12a_ed_pk_1m_promo.html
Different price and different quantity. Anyone else see this in their email???
???

The link was wrong in their email! I went to here: http://www.x10.com/promotions and it gives you this:
http://www.x10.com/promotions/ws12a_4f3_si.html ... not $20.99, but $59.97!!!!!!!!!
B:(

What's a few dollars amongst loyal customers? rofl
I think it may be the X10 Stimulus Package. ;) Stimulating more money coming into X10. ;D
Yeah, to give them the benefit of the doubt, they have made a bunch of errors. They actually corrected the 4 for $20.99 to accurately show 3 for $19.99, then they changed it back to the wrong one again! The $59.97 is just bizarre!
How about the deal for $12.99 that is really $14.99 ???
I firmly believe that they intended to give us the better deals, then someone denied that price, and changed it - but didn't change every reference to the better price in the graphics. :-\
Bottom line: CHECK YOUR SHOPPING CART CAREFULLY!

Its a good deal/price. I have dealt with X10 for YEARS as has many of the forum members here. Speaking for myself... I have found them to be honest and easy to deal with.
X10 has very recently performed a complete revamp of their Web Site. Since then... we have found many MANY errors in these new Pages. I think the errors are understandable. Some may imply that X10 employees have embedded the errors on purpose forcing customers to call in and speak with a fellow employee. Since the call center and the Web Creation may be in the same facility... I guess there could be a slim chance they are trying to create work for themselves. But I doubt it. Ether way... just call X10 to get the deal... it's a toll free call.

Any comments about the young lady in the white gown?

That's a whole 'nother discussion entirely... I hope I don't get fired for opening my emails at work.
I thought those ads were over, but I guess they rethought their sales strategy. :-\

Is she real or is she Mamorex Memorex? :o
I think you have to be pretty old to remember that commercial.
-
Now look what you did. Made me feel old again. With the Memorex commercial. ;D
-
I'm certainly not old, but can remember the glass breaking, as well as Topal, plop plop fizz fizz, and ancient chinese secret, so there!
Sock it to me!

I remember Jack Paar (I remember Steve Allen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Allen) too) and Gary Moore (the Gary Moore show where regular guess Carol Burnett got start). Both did live on air cigarette commercials where the would light the cigarette and talk about the smooth, clean flavor. I also remember when we were invited to see the USA in your Chevolet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGZvQoPxhNs).

OK who remembers the name of the chimp Dave Garroway would hold on the OLD Today show? No fair googling, and no I really can't remember but think it was "MR" something or other. ;D

Well it turns out it wasn't "Mr" anything. I finally broke down and googled. The chimp was " J. Fred Muggs". Definitely and "old geezer" question.
I guess the "Million Dollar Heist" train is way off track, so to get it back on...I did order the 3 decorator wall switch deal for $20 which is still pretty good pricing.

For those who are using these WS12As (and even the WS14As) do you feel that they are a quality product? I learned fast that the socket rockets aren't durable when a bulb dies. I hope this is a long lasting solution to controling lights without being forced to use a remote like you would with the SRs.

Didn't Google.

Under the right conditions just about any dimmer switch (non X10 also) can short when the bulb blows. I have had the manual "Push -On, Push-Off" knob style dimmers short on a bulb burn out. The Socket Rockets are more suseptable to bulb burn out because X10 uses a smaller, lower current triac. However the good news is any X10 dimmer with the "Soft Start" feature should be more robust against burn out.

Does the WS12A have the Soft Start? Searching on the forums came up with only your post ;)

Good question. The re-designed WS467 does. Whether the WS12A has the new controller chip I'm not sure. One of the new features from the new chip, besides Soft Start is Local Dim (dimming at the switch). The WS12A web page does not list this as a feature, so if no other forum members know, then you may want to call X10 and hope you talk to a rep that knows.

"Press the paddle quickly to turn the module on and off. Press and hold to dim or brighten. Note: if you press the paddle and nothing happens, you might have pressed it for too long and started to dim the light and not noticed that it dimmed."
Looks like local dimming works on this.

I remember Jack Paar
But do you remember Judy Garland on the Jack Paar show?

You remember that... or just hearing about it?

Both...I bought a DVD release of Jack Paar's tv shows ;D . He was *very* good, and Judy Garland was hilarious! Apparently the two of them were good friends.
BTW does this forum have email notification?

The creator of the Tonight Show, was Steve Allen. The story he told was: He would have friends over to the house... and they would talk and laugh and share storys and sing songs. He thought a show... with his same "industry" friends would be a good show. So the tonight show was born. Then there was Jack, then Jonny, and Jay.
I've seen all the hosts. All have been wonderful. But I think the earlier.. less polished shows.. had a special quality.

I agree. More intelligent, witty, and....remembering Judy Garland's impersonation of Marlene Dietrich...totally hilarious!
-

Yes. ;D
I turned it on one time accidentally on an active topic, and it got pretty annoying! B:(
You go into the topic you want the email on, and click the "NOTIFY" on the top right bar of the page... "REPLY NOTIFY MARK UNREAD PRINT" etc...
