Thanx Marino.  Nice to know that I've got a sense of humour !

I've currently working with a Linux package called LIRC for reading
and writing infrared signals directly, as well as with the kinds of
devices that Roger is playing with.  It's a bit of a pain because
it was written for Linux Only!  Once I've finished the infrared
transmission code I'm sure that I can find enough SpareTime[TM] to
interface with your MirrorShades.  Do you need it at kernel level,
or will a user level process do?

Joe
