Only =A3200 or so :-) I'd like one, but I can't possibly justify
spending =A3200 on a remote until I spend it on some other things
first...

I've got the Richer Sounds Remote Angel thing, touchscreen only,
costs around =A370. I know some folk (inc Mark) used it, hated it,
chucked it away, but I've been using it for a year now, replacing
remotes for Minidisc, DVD, TV, VCR, CD, Tape, Amp, and both I and my
wife find it fine to use.
It's not as customisable as Pronto, and it's only touchscreen, that's
the only downsides I've seen- on the plus side, it's much cheaper, a
single set of batteries lasted a full year of daily use.
The icons on the display are nice and clear, and it's backlight comes
on if you press a key when it's dark, so I find it quite easy to use
at a glance.
Yer pays yer money, yer takes yer choice... (and if anyone buys one
and wants to throw it away, let me know and I'll [ahem] arrange
disposal for you!)
