Does anyone have a remote control for laptop with buttons on remote that we can map manually to any function of a running program, such as next/previous song or video file, etc..

It would also work wonders if it was compatible with Mac.

Them were the days when you actually had to get your rump roast off the couch and turn the dial on the actual television to switch the channel you were watching. Then came the remote control, and the rump roasts have been getting wider ever since. Next came the laptop, though, and professionals, students, housewives, and entrepreneurs all had reasons to get back off the couch, get vibrant, and get busy with their mobile computers - burning off the pounds as they bore the laptop on their shoulder in a satchel.
But then came Interlink Electronics with its laptop remote control. The "leading innovator of intuitive interface design" out of Camarillo, California, has devised this contraption that can allow you to play your music MP3s, DVDs, run a photo slideshow, or operate a PowerPoint all from as far as 30 feet away. All you need is a Windows XP OS. Then it'll do the rest, operating with most media apps, from Windows Media Center to iTunes, RealPlayer to Dell Media Experience.
