Well, now.  I suppose it is only a matter of days, before someone
figures out how to get greater control out of the I/R LED port
on either a 28S or 48X.  Once it is known how to twiddle it, I
expect to see a "Master Home Electronics Controller," a'la the
one that Jobs built.  Imagine controlling your TV, VCR, CD, STEREO,
and EIEIO from the convenience of your favorite chair.  You might
like it so much, that you will want to purchase another whole
calculator, just for living-room use.
