And an undocumented feature of these remote control receivers, if you zap them with a signal from a real TV remote but have none of the TV tuner hardware installed, you can sometimes lock up your CPU for days (well many many many hours) while it goes into some sort of weird limbo, trying to process the signals...it's pretty hard to get them to snap out of it. Pulling power doesn't help, IIRC. Not sure how many models this affected but you can test yours and see :) Brian -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
