(Of course, I could do all the same things on my Apple MessagePad 120 years ago, but there you go...) Matt (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) $1000 for a remote? My brain just threw a rod! That's more than my DVD player, receiver, and speakers combined! Of course I have lower budget devices, but that isn't the point. It would be nice, though, to be able to switch from watching cable (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Ehh, funny thing. Marantz = Philips. The remote I got was only $149. It does all the stuff I want. I could have spent about 250 and bought the cooler one with the touch screen, but I decided to forego the keen factor and just go for function. (...)

(...) Touchscreens *suck* for remote controls. The tactile feedback of good old regular buttons is really important. I personally am really happy with my X10 learning remote (URL).
