I just bought the universal dock with its remote but much to my dismay, it works better on my Apple then on the dock itself... 😉

When I try to use the dock remote, my macbook wakes from sleep, iTunes stars on my Mac Mini etc... 🙄 I remember reading somewhere that it is possible to pair the computers to one remote. But I've got three Apple and three remotes...so, I would like to pair the (fourth 🙁 ) iPod remote to its dock and leave my :apple: computers alone.. Is it possible? 😕

I fret that if any of my friends sets an :apple: laptop in my living room is going to find it melted if it wakes from sleep closed while I use the ipod dock via the remote....😱

Any ideas aside from hanging a disclaimer on the wall? 😛

On a corollary note: I think it's total nonsense to use the same remote on the dock to save. what? Like we don't pay enough? 😡
