I have an X10 RF remote, reciever connects through USB
I was just wondering if it could be used with OSX/Front Row at all?
I highly doubt it ;)
(Still waiting for Rev. 2, and also a 64-bit kernel)

Aldi PC? I don't think it's possible. But there's nothing as great as an Apple Remote - only 6 keys, you can use it blind.

Lidl PC ;) Targa Ultra AN64II 3700+...
Can Apple Remotes work with PCs? Does it work through bluetooth?

Apple remote uses IR, but it has an extremly strong signal. Buy a Windows Media Center 2005 remote control (I got them at ebay for <5 Euro somethimes). The receivers are using the eHome-standard. An Apple Remote costs about 20-25 Euro on ebay. Use it with Mira, a little software for the Mac which makes it possible to control EVERY program with the Apple Remote, all self-configurable.
