but even the sony remote is just another thing that you have to ensure that you pack. but you do bring up a good point on that. I will concede that point. I even understand that there are those that fear change. But at the same time it can be difficult to even use the sony remote. I saw that first hand when a guy was trying program and trying to remeber what all the buttons are supposed to do can be down right infuriating. I would be more ok with the sony remote way if someone would at least photo etch a plate to go over the remote and show what the buttons are supposed to do.

But at the same time why should we be relogated to antiquated systems when the possibility of so much more is just there within our grasp.

Downside I am not that guy. But i'm sure that there are people on here who are.
