Make a media centre out of XP home

May not be of any interest to anyone, but I purchased the Intervideo remote control for $29.95 and use it for controlling windvd on my lapto and desktop. It also has cool mouse buttons on it with left and right click keys and a drag key. I'm able to control all of windows with it, from media player to anything. Adding a tv card and DVD-R would give you much the same system as a media centre PC for a fraction of the cost of a brand new PC. Just thought I'd let you all know out there about something which I think is fairly amazing.:happy:
 
Ya think? I've had those capabilities for a year now with my ATI AIW Radeon 7500. And the remote is RF based, not IR, so I am not limited by walls and free to use it anywhere in the house.
 
That is actually a pretty good idea. I had never even thought about doing that. It would work well with my laptop.
 
the remote control can be got from www.intervideo.com under the products link on the home page. I dont know how much RF costs but is it cheaper than $30? :) Has anybody else got suggestions like this, I'd be glad to hear them

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
