- MARKETING IDEA!!!!!!!!!
-
- If you made a product that was SMALL and could plug into the parallel port
- of a laptop (serial port option) and could send/receive IR to a nearby
- printer (modem), and make it inexpensive, I think there would be a good
- market for this! I know I'd like to avoid all the plugging/unplugging that
- goes on when I take my laptop away from my desk.
-
- Let me know if you market this!
