This is a great place to start....

I suggest doing a search on Google for "AT&T 8000", it should suit your needs

Don't listen to this. The AT&T 8000 is the professional alarm equivalent to a Yugo automobile on cinder blocks.

What I would do: a)- Get 3 bids from small, local, reputable alarm installation companies. If any show "high-pressure, buy-it-now" sales tactics- throw them out and call another. Avoid the large chain companies- you will not get what you pay for. b)- Use the info gleaned from their bids to evaluate whether you can/should/want to install it yourself. c)- Call your insurance agent to inquire about possible discounts for having a monitored system. d)- Install system- Insist on using non-proprietary equipment (non- "company-branded" equipment such as ADT or Brinks.) Whether you do it yourself or have it done for you, be sure it's done right to avoid problems which will lead to it not being used. Be sure everyone in the household has their own separate code and knows how to use the system. Have at least a couple of smoke detectors installed, if monitored. e)- Go on vacation. Be amazed that you're not consumed with worry that something will happen while you're gone. f)- Go on a business trip. Be amazed that you're not consumed with worry that something will happen to your family while you're gone. g)- Go to sleep. Be amazed that you're not consumed with worry that something will happen while you're asleep.

No, no, no, NO, NO, WRONG! The best security system ever made is the Moose Z-1100. Nuff said. js

Very good. Too bad the public does not know what "proprietary" means in this industry until they try to get rid of the company that put it in!

Ahh the MyAlarm, that brings up fond tears to my eyes

Unless DSC has expanded they don't have the production capability for ADT

Some people just don't understand systems far ahead of their time I guess

I prefer the high-pressure buy-it-now tactic, it stresses me out and I buy things like Zebra-colored skinsuits and funny shaped bikes

I go on vacations and business trips all the time and am consumed with worry....or maybe guilt...I'm never quite sure

When I go to sleep I get strange calls from a guy named Tom Fowler, he drones on and on

PULEEESE.....the Loxxon....you gotta be kidding......

At least get the company name right ! Or is that too difficult for you....:))

To truly protect your home you will need the new Loxxon security system.

It is distributed by Home Metal Products in Canada.

Terrific news ! Now I soon will be able to take on even more of their "takeovers" that come my way.....

RHC

Yeah, I guess it is too difficult for you....

Nya Nya there's still snow here!

Hope you get one Mikey! There is a saying...."when you buy metric you get twice the bike at half the price"

You gotta hand it to Willie G Davidson though, he's convinced a lot of buyers that they don't have a real motorcycle unless they put out to buy a Harley.....part of selling that whole Harley cult mentality....

Go figure...

Hi Bob,

Sorry I wasn't in the States to greet you when you made it to Florida.

I'm looking at getting a bike to ride in Brazil. They're real popular here since the traffic is often totally jammed for cars. "Filtering" is legal here, allowing riders to slip between lanes of cars at stop lights. The difference is that here bikers are also allowed to zip between lanes while the traffic is moving -- something I haven't the nerve to try. :^)

Bob L gave me some advice on possible bikes to choose from. The problem is man models that are available in the USA aren't sold here. Also, I've no idea what is a fair price. I'll probably get a friend who rides to go shopping with me.

YOU know someone that drones on and on...? The mind boggles...
