Anyone in the Darwin/Palmerston area have one of these laying around gathering dust?
Needs to be the plug and play type, i.e no extra drivers required.

Jay Car - about $20, designed for Windows Media Centre but also works media player ect, plug and play USB receiver, nothing to install. They are a bit sluggish but do the job, only thing is you need to point remote directly at receiver. remote also has back-lit buttons.
