mac pro remote

The new, beautiful mac pro has one flaw- NO remote...

Does anyone have a solution for this problem so that i can have, at last, one of those small white delights next to my bed?!

Cheers

Yes, but it'll cost you 15 quid.

I thought the MP didn't have an IR receiver so you couldn't use the mac remote...

That's correct. You can get some USB IR recievers though that let you use all the features a Apple remote would.

Ah i see, hence the £15. Fair enough, good call J.

ah ha.... I like the sound of that!!! Do you have a link for the USB IR receiver or can it be any?

Cheers...

I've used the Airclick USB by Griffin Technologies for a while with my iBook and Macbook. Works pretty well and quite customizable too

You can use the Keyboard (I think) for front row

Yup. Command and Escape.

Why you'd need to use Front Row on a Mac Pro is beyond me? :confused:

Salling Clicker - like an apple remote but with a screen! (only £12 too)

I'll use it if I ever buy one. Front Row rocks.

I would use it if I had a Mac Pro in my room and hooked up to a TV. Easier to play/pause videos and music if your in bed
