Can I get pictures of the ir200l with the tin-foil, here I am making a  
list to create my own ir transmitter (I found the thread about lirc_sir  
being hardcoded at 38K and lirc_serial not supporting the ir200L) and  
all I needed was tin-foil. I'll try anything before pulling out the hot  
gun.

He waves his arm in a gesture of futile dismissal. "If I say yes,

complain because I'm not eating. So what should I say? I'll say yes,  
and eat half."
