No, this is the new Pronto . . .



Note the inbuilt, long range, telecommunications receiver dish.

WOW! If thats the RF side, the IR would probably incinerate things!!!

Looks like it still takes two hands to operate, though.

If it sits on your head, I hope they got all the bugs worked out of it.
I don't like bugs on my head.

Otherwise, I'M IN!! An intuitive remote control that wouldn't be affected by others sitting close by? What could be better than that? :)

the whole world should use alkaline and we should
do away with heavy duty batteries. would...run

Amen to that. I spent alot of money thinking I was getting a good battery at a low price. Turns out I ended up changing them everyday. After hearing a commercial on the radio I decided to try the alkaline and sure enough they lasted longer. I think the companies use heavy duty to scam all of us consumers who dont know any better.

I think the HD (heavy duty) really stands for: horse dung, hardly desireable, highly dissposable, handily discharged, horribly dated,etc.

As a side note, are you a Mark Martin fan (6) ?

Nice chairs haha

I agree i have switched to alkalines after constantly having to buy new heavy duty batteries. Yeah they are cheaper but not worth it in the long run.
