You ought to fire up one in a lab with a ceiling-mounted projector with an IR remote control, an audio system with an IR remote control, a PC with an IR mouse link, a notebook with an IR port looking for IR devices to talk to, etc. Turns into a friggin' zoo. Move the mouse, the projector goes off and the audio volume goes up to 110db. Hit the volume control and the mouse closes the current window and opens up 10 others. Been there. Done that.. :)
