I like the $5.00 universal remote that GE sells. Don't know the model number offhand.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

vw bug, I was looking around and I do have an RCA model that isn't being used (same model as in link, only backlit) because I switched to the URC 6131 for Tivo functionality.
You would have to consult the online user's manual for the codes, since I don't know where I put the booklet, but if you want it, it's yours. It's in great shape and was only used for a few months.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, thank you so much HiddenSky! Unfortunately, that remote doesn't control the DVD player, and since that's the one remote that we actually don't have...
Thank you, though.

It does have a DVD button (it's a combined DVD/AUX) or do you mean you've tried a similar remote before and it's incompatible with your DVD player?

I'd agree that that for the same form factor, the Mini is price competitive. But if the form factor isn't important, you can get a far more powerful PC with a much faster processor, more memory, and much more hard drive space. I can't see a reason for Apple to release OSX for PCs though. A good part of what makes Macs special is the hardware/OS integration. If OSX has to support all the variations in the PC world then it detract from the user experience.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
On one of the Mac sites I was recommending last week, there's a really good essay explaining why Apple is not going to make Mac OS X available to other manufacturer's PCs.

If I only had a brain...
If you want a TiVo with a lifetime subscription, do it NOW.
As of 4/15, TiVo will no longer sell lifetime subscriptions.

What's the best way to add USB ports to a G5? It seems like the most space-saving way would be through one of the PCI slots, but the reviews here make me very suspicious of the workability.
