This profile would be better named 'Ten Different Apple Remotes' since it's special sauce is that it maps the 50-odd buttons on the Harmony over each of the ten different Apple remotes that OSX is built to recognise. Although Apple remotes are small, six-button things, it turns out that they also send an ID code, and each Apple remote comes with one of ten different IDs built into it. So if you had a good selection of these remotes, you could actually send 10 x 6 = 60 different commands to the Mac. The Plex device for the harmony emulates these signals.

Actually every apple remote has 256 different IDs it can send from (not 10). You select the next ID by holding down MENU and PLAY/PAUSE for about 5 seconds. You could if you had the time (and unending patience) get 1536 unique buttons from the old remote, or 1792 via the new one. 8)
