IR Port from USB
I really like synching to my work laptop becasue I can use the IR port. No cables. Unfortunately my home desktop doesn't have an IR port. Is there one available I can plug into a USB port?

I remember searching for them a while ago. They do exist, but the cheapest one I found was around $45 I think. I don't remember where I found them, sorry.

Ouch, that is expensive. I might as well buy a cradle. Thanks for the link.

I got one for 20 bucks off eBay. It worked great until I dropped the darned thing a few times.

from what I remember, and I may as well be wrong because I am not sure, but anyways, I think you can find IR to serial (RS232) for cheaper.

I think they have such a device at TigerDirect. I have seen it in their print catalog. I have not bought one though.
