NP, can I have cash in advance on this one though?  I'll make a tidy
profit
on the interest b4 they come down to said $100 level :-)

Ah yes, I guess the porn chat rooms do require a lot of typing :)

Yeah, 'pocket' sized even :D  So you buy your IR Remote kit for your
Pocket
PC and get it all working gr8.
You bin all other remotes coz you don't need them.
Being a PDA, you naturally take your Pocket PC to work....
Shortly after you get an irate call from SWMBO coz all the remotes have
gone
and you have taken the one remaining uber-remote to work with you :-/

But if you compare them to the price of a colour creston then they are
cheap
:-)
Just like a grand's worth of Arcam DVD player might seem a lot when you
can
get a nice Sony one for about 1/2 that, which is more compatible with
DVD-R
etc formats.  However, the Arcam is cheap compared to say a Tag
Maclaren DVD
player which costs SERIOUS money.
It's horses for courses as usual but I do know what u are saying - I'd
baulk
@ paying that much myself for a remote.....
