Now, if only I could program...
Development tools are here:

There's an emulator around there somewhere, too. MS's main PDA page is:

Wow, Someone who knows about this!!!
First off, do you have any clue on how to access the IR port from a embedded
VC++?
I know how to program in C++, and VisualBasic, but how does VisualC++ work?
I've never dealt with VC++, or any type of hardware access. How do I go
about doing this?
