Mark Newhouse, of iBlog, has put together a list of things that the Apple Remote can do that you might
not know about. Culled from various sources, this list will be updated as more is found out about this six buttoned
wonder.To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

Kinda funny, if you look at the kbase article for pairing a remote with a particular Mac. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302545)
Step 1: "Invade your iMac's personal space by getting up close to it (about 3 or 4 inches away)."

All I want to know is how I can get the remote, use an generic IR receiver, and get the full functionality out of it.

Can you connect an iPod Univsersal Dock to an older Mac and use the remote to control the Mac? Also, is it possible to use the remote with a nonbuilt iin iSight to control the computer. I'd love to have that on my G5 DP2.5 and 30" Cinema Display!

I don't have the remote, but I've played with one. Yes for the first part, maybe for the second part. You would need drivers for the standard IR receiver to translate signals from the IR into whatever signals they should be for the software to recognize (my theory is keyboard signals, but I don't have the remote to test that theory out).

And like SirROM said, all I want to know is can you use the remote with a universal dock to control your non-frontrow mac.
