If your optical drive fails (as mine has) and you need to boot to DOS to try and sort things out, without the old technology or expensive alternatives, you are jiggered! <BR />Come on Sony try to consider the used and not just your profits!!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2005 19:44:48 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95558#M115843 rich912 2005-01-17T19:44:48Z Re: Laptops and infra red ports https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95559#M115844 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You are right though Rich, infrared is old hat now.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2005 20:14:39 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95559#M115844 kee-lo_ 2005-01-17T20:14:39Z Re: Laptops and infra red ports https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95560#M115845 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">You are right though Rich, infrared is old hat now.<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />I agree to an extent Kee-lo but I wonder how much this has do do with the manufactures rather than the user.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2005 20:48:26 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95560#M115845 rich912 2005-01-17T20:48:26Z Re: Laptops and infra red ports https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95562#M115846 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Oh I think it's a manufacturers idea, the user was probably quite content with intrared until they shouted "here's bluetooth"<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2005 20:53:00 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95562#M115846 kee-lo_ 2005-01-17T20:53:00Z Re: Laptops and infra red ports https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95563#M115847 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.se/html/@1171BA8DDFC7DB19A6C03A53D2CB08A6/images/smilies/005.png" alt=":laughing:" title=":laughing:" /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.se/html/@1171BA8DDFC7DB19A6C03A53D2CB08A6/images/smilies/005.png" alt=":laughing:" title=":laughing:" /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.se/html/@1171BA8DDFC7DB19A6C03A53D2CB08A6/images/smilies/005.png" alt=":laughing:" title=":laughing:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2005 20:55:04 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/laptops-and-infra-red-ports/m-p/95563#M115847 rich912 2005-01-17T20:55:04Z
