PC Remote Control

Can the magic of the remote control actually also apply to your new PC home computer? Why have PC's been so neglected? I mean seriously! All other forms of technology these days feature a remote control of some sort. So it is quite ironic that, PC's themselves, have yet to fully incorporate this device. True story actually: I really owned a new laptop in 2005 that came with a remote control. Imagine my joy when I discovered it.

But, soon afterwards, I found out that the control itself was, well, not functional in the slightest. Looking on the internet and browsing forum after forum, led me to the conclusion that many computer enthusiasts out there actually had the same problem. Why had I been left astray in such a remote control-less world.

Well you may be happy to know, that PC's are finally coming online. Online in the realm of remote controlled computing that is. There are a handful of companies these days that sell remote enabled Personal Computers. This has been primarily led by the drive to get the so called multimedia PC out there and into the public's hands. Don't worry about their apparent complexity.

PC Remotes do simple tasks, like turn up the volume after you just put in a new DVD and you can't hear it. They also do other things like control the mouse, though with these versions, there is a bit more complexity added. In either case, worth the investment? Well if you really plan on using your computer as a media device, we think the answer is yes.
