RE: Another newbie - looking for a remote

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

Tsk, I go off for a quick conf call with some Yanks and come back to this
abuse!  I really, really tried to get along with it, but unlike 9/10
UKHA's,
I'm not a techie (or propeller head as I like to call them), so didn't
enjoy
the hours, and hours, and hours of configuring the thing, and then, the
cheek of it, having to look down at it to see what button to press.  Plus
it's too big, and didn't do RF at the time.

Freaky Pete.

OK, let me qualify that ...

"9/10 UKHAers think it's the daddy"

:-D

Of course there are some people (or freaks as I like to call them) who
don't
like the Pronto, and they are welcome to that opinion. Most people do like
it, and it does have tremendous "wow" factor when guests come
round.
