where did the Apple Remote go?

[ipo]

They cut the remote with all new MBP and Macbook models , that's not something you haven't noticed yet . BUT
Have you seen this page??

http://www.apple.com/getamac/whichmac.html

<just scroll a bit>

What about the line : "On Every Mac" : "Front Row + Apple Remote" ????

I'll whine about the nice remote we've lost Does anyone want to join ?

Someone here did so and got a free remote, its unlikely but possible.

I think the following line from that section covers them.

"And the Apple Remote, included with MOST new notebook and desktop Macs"

** emphasis mine **

Apple has changed it now so it wouldn't work anymore.

If anyone wants one, I have several (brand new in package). $10 shipped.

I've never had to use the Apple Remote with my MacBooks and really don't see any instance where I would. I know it can come in handy if connected to a large screen TV, but, personally, I've never done it and never will.

On the other hand, I love using it with my Mac Pro and 30" monitor!

Knowing this already when I ordered a MacBook this morning, I tried ordering a remote with my Mac but it would have delayed it a few days. Really, I don't care all that much because I already have two remotes sitting here from my MBP and iMac.
