Eject buttons on remote controlls

I don't get it, You have to get up to change disks, tapes
etc. So why are they there?

And why do I always spend more time looking for the remote
than it would take me to go and press buttons on the machine
itself.

that's because you're not practical..you hit eject and then
use an artificial hand to change the disc/tapes. also always
put remote on top of the table, that should save you some
time.

end as my universal remote.

a vcr...

That feature is good for notifying your girlfriend when it
is time to get her ass off the couch and change discs for
you.

haha, it's kinda funny though..to have enough time to watch
something on vcr and to not have a spare two seconds to
change the tape :)

What a bloody good idea can you get stuff out of the fridge
with it?

*idea (insert light bulb going on here)*

how about an open door remote for the fridge, freezer,
microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, trash can, kitchen
cupbord doors or any door. This will make me rich....

yeah, i'm not saying it really matters. i certainly don't
care. i was just trying to make some sense out of this
crazy, mixed-up world of eject buttons and remote controls!

yep. you know like how you retract a curtain on a curtain
rod by pulling two little strings.

i have my bamboo remote rigged up with one of those so that
i can draw my beercan back to me.

 

p.s. i'm totally lying.

As well as as my door opener remote, I think I will attach
all my possesions to pieces of string with labels. Then I
press the remote and pull the string (or combination of
strings) and hey presto beer and a glass at my chair without
ever having to get up.

you'll need to install a toilet in the couch too.

i've found that to be one of my greatest home improvements.

utilising your pulley system, I will use a bucket that I can
transport waste yo the toilet. Plumbing is not my strong
point but pulleys I am great at...

Remotes should have little alarm things on them. If you
loose one, you press a button on the main machine so the
remote makes a racket, thus enabling you to find it. I'm
sick to death of loosing remotes! And, sometimes, there are
features on the remote that you can't get on the actual
machine.

sometimes, when a dvd is playing and i want it to stop,
pressing stop simply won't get the job done. neither does
the stand-by button, because it always starts up that stupid
'screensaver' after some time. pressing eject prevents this.

Lets have it as the next poll question

Is there any use for an eject button on a remote?
[] yes
[] no
[] Is this something to do with Analord

Well, you would be suprised at what companies might do just
to give their product something above the competition. Now
its standard, but at first, it was probly just one company
to give their remote one extra button.

Remots used to only have 3 or 4, so that would have been a
big thing.
