Well finally took the plunge and purchased the OmniRemote software and Palm Pilot.I would have made the move sooner but I had an outdated computer until recently.I am very pleased with the Palm Pilot as a remote control.One thing I will say is that a remote control extender system(LeapFrog type)is a must to have if your going to use the Palm Pilot as a remote control.Without it I can understand why Daniel and others described the use of the Palm Pilot as unpleasant.If this option were not available
I wouldn't consider the Palm Pilot a reasonal option as a remote control.An added bonus for myself is that I will also be able to use the Palm Pilot other capabilities. Being single does have it's advavtages once in awhile.Bottom line is that I am very pleased with the Palm Pilot as a remote control/hand held computer.
