Dollar Tree (www.dollartree.com) stores around here sometimes (unfortunately not always) have "universal remotes" for (of course!) $1.00. They also have "dollar tree direct", if you want to purchase large quantities of something. You might want to contact them and see if they have them. www.dollartree.com/dtdirect/direct.cfm Bill -- Psst... Hey, you... Buddy...
