| I've been playing around with my new RIS and having a blast, but one thing bugs me - there's no "OFF" switch on the IR transmitter. When I power off my computer the IRT still has the green light lit and drains the 9V battery over time! I've taken (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics)
