Very interesting article...however, it sounds so familiar. I recall the inventor of the remote dying around 2006/7.

I found it...but i don't know if I should feel happy or sad since I feel like the Cliff Clavin of useless archived information. Check out this post: http://www.satelliteguys.us/pub-members-bar-grill/89826-i-have-pay-homage-him.html

My Tribute to the passing of the remote control inventor back in 2007. Offhand, I have the feeling this gentleman has been dying for the past 30-years.
