Getting a Web Page

However, obtaining the protocol to a sign can be pretty much a nightmare for the casual developer. There's no good reason this should be the case. For every application a developer produces, that's more justification for a user to purchase another sign.

As such, these pages serve to document any information that might be useful to a developer.

This interesting part of the story is that when information about the Pro-Lite sign was posted, it gathered tons of interest. I continually get letters of people who have purchased one or more Pro-Lite signs solely because of the content on these pages.

Pro-Lite saw the advantage, expecially since their tech support could refer people to this web site. Pro-Lite was kind enough to send a sign for experimenting, and as I learned more various applications were posted.

Linux represents a whole new market of intelligent people who want to hook devices to their home machines. As such Linux Journal asked me to do an article on the Pro-Lite PL-2014R; it should be coming out in a couple of months.

During a visit to COSTCO, I put the URL of this page on the price sticker. Some clever stock person moved the signs to home computing a day later, and within a week the entire batch was gone. Previously they sat there for months in the restaurant section. (Now I have to drive to Pentagon City to get my signs... argh.)

The point is, information sells.
