RF Remote for a notebook

Post by Vohu Manah »

Due to the fact that I at least once a week connect either of the family's notebook computers (either my wife's or my own) to one of our televisions for one purpose or another (such as watching a movie we have in MP4 or showing a group some interesting web animation I've found), I've been looking into getting a presentation remote so that I can avoid having to be at my laptop while I'm trying to view whatever material I'm working with from a room away.

I was specifically looking at Keyspan's PR-US2, so I was hoping anyone had any experience with the device or had an alternate suggestion. As the notebooks in question are both Powerbook G4s, Mac support is a must. Front Row is not running on either computer as of now (and won't until Leopard is released) if that matters. Any help would be appreciated.
There are two kinds of people in the world: the kind who think it’s perfectly reasonable to strip-search a 13-year-old girl suspected of bringing ibuprofen to school, and the kind who think those people should be kept as far away from children as possible … Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between drug warriors and child molesters.” - Jacob Sullum[/size][/align]

I was going to suggest a wireless optical mouse but it looks like your solution is probably better...
May you live in interesting times.
