Re: Tiny learning remote (or one with a large library!)

That's good to know.  The HK vendors I've checked out do a lot of business
with fairly good feedback so for $4, I'm not worried.  I just hope it's got
the required codes in its codebase.  HK mail sounds like the mail to Oz.
I've sent mail to Melbourne that gets there in just a few days but the
longest was 6 weeks.  Thanks again for finding it for me!
