Paul,
   Thanks. So I'll order a StreamZap this evening and try it out next
week when it arrives. I've not found anywhere to purchase it locally
in San Jose although I'm sure someone must sell them. Guess I'll go
Amazon for now.

   So there's a difference between an 'IrDA dongle' and an 'IR
receiver'? I know absolutely nothing of this technology.

Thanks,
Mark
