Yep - they can put so many options on these tiny chips that it's totally bewildering to me. Where is the on/off, up/down, louder/quieter button these days? Even the stupid microwave ovens are almost beyond comprehension - that's why I've not changed out our machine that you spin the knob to how long you wish it to nuke, crank around to the proper power level and mash start.

The great technology we have today is so awesome that the design engineers are outsmarting me anyway. Please turn back the clock a little bit - oh wait, that digital also.

Let's see, the home theater has remotes for:

1. A/V Unit
2. TV Monitor
3. DVD
4. VHS
5. Satellite

I need a remote for my remotes!
