New remote review: Now available! Our exclusive early look at the Sony RM-AV2100 LCD touchscreen remote control, packed with details and photographs. Sony listened to their customers' wishes concerns on the RM-AV2000 and merged them all together in this updated control which features more memory, more macros and more customization. Be sure to give the review a look, and let me know if you have any comments.

Pronto CCF files: Wow -- it's been a busy week for Pronto files. There are new system configurations available from Adrian Ballard, Andrew Pratt, Clive Goodall, Dave Kopper, Derick Alba, Dominique Sertel, Harlon Reihing, Henrick Blake, Jamie Smith, Mango Chutney & Simon Ngan. Also available is a CCF file with space backgrounds by Cary Gerber.

I've separated the Pronto documentation/support files from the Pronto Utilities section and gave them their own, called Documentation & Fixes. You'll also find the VBAJET32 and Windows NT Emulator fix in there. For all Pronto-related files I've added a new download counter, which should add -- at minimum -- a little bit of fun. The data already in it should take into account file statistics since about June of 1999.
