I think that the IR keyboards are the same thing for jrs and for Web-TVs... a joke. I mean, they belong with video confencing, (responsive) touch screens, and gigahertz processors. Right now, the technology is too expensive to get a good use. (IE make something cheap and with few functions, like a remote, or expenisve and keyboard functions, but at a high cost). I've seen the Web-TV IR keyboards (a very slim & beautiful-looking unit), and they cost hundreds of dollars. When you buy the add-on printer, keyboard, and stuff like that, the price probably soars to a higher price than a sub-$1000 PC (I've seen 166MMX boxes for under $500), it was the same problem with the jr: You promise them cheap, easy to use, and seemingly child-like to use. You end up with bad IR transmiters/recievers, expensive replacements, a high initial-cost, (the jr. shipped for like 1,200, not the promised 700 bucks.), and babies are bad enough with remotes. What do they do with 110 volts, a IR keyboard and reciever, and a cartrige system, all wonderful devices used by adults/older kids? The results are hard to even think of. If they could make a computer with less than 20V.... that would probably be OK.... (A different) Tim. ;^)
