    It hasn't been in stock for a while, is it still being made?

    I thought they were still in stock, just sold separately...I expect it doesn't have great sales though, considering it doesn't have widespread use.

    I have been checking the futureshop and best buy websites, ant they are always out of stock. Next time I go, I'll try to get one on hold I guess.

    I really like the remote, it helps me a lot when I'm doing presentations or watching movies. :)

    Also, the remote can control multiple Macs at the same time. I made a mess when i played with my remote at my friend's MAC coffee shop. My remote controlled 3 macbooks (included my macbook Pro) at the same time.

    The Apple Remote is great for presentations, I always have my friends go up to me after the presentation asking to look at the remote :D.
