    I've tried this laptop and noticed that it comes with a remote controller that is (un)pluggable from the right side of the computer. This computer has also(heh.. ofcourse) an IR-port... But the pre-installed Windows XP Home edition didn't display any IR-ports at all in the device manager.

    I'm kinda lost here.. It would be extremely cool if this was just a normal IR-port so one could write (or use readily available) applications to use the IR-port... But I can't find info anywhere whether the port is "real" or whether it's something only-built-for-fujitsu :( Could someone give me a hand here??

    (PS. How the hell does this mute-button work on it, as how does windows know it has to mute itself.. I couldnt find any program operating the "IR-port" either..)

    Off-the-thread: (Isn't so much of an issue but if someone reading this thread happens to know an answer to this, I'd be more than happy to hear it :)
    How hot is the A1667 supposed to come? It feels quite warm(If you look the laptop like you would be using it, and divide the surface to 4 equal sized grids, the hot are is the right-bottom part) and I'm now sitting in a BIOS and the fan is not blowing (I've been sitting in the BIOS for about 30 minutes)
