I'm impressed as well, and echo tanstaafl's post.

Also, is that IR receiver perchance the irman? Hehe, I use that thing too for my home-made home MP3 player. Regardless of company, what program are you using for the IR commands? I'm very fond of Girder, which gives you control of an incredible amount of Windows features, including the control of a program regardless of whether it's in the foreground or not.

I can see the GPS receiver retaining its usefullness after you've gotten an empeg. I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out.
