Remote Control Organizer

Good news, bad news.

Good news: it exists.

Bad news: it's only got room for four remotes.

I don't know about you but me, in order to watch TV or a DVD or a video or do whatever, I've got to employ 5 — that's right, 5 — remotes in order to operate all the equipment.

And that's with each and every piece of my video and audio kit — TV, DVD player, videotape player, speakers and AM-FM receiver/amplifier — from one company (Sony).

I can get by with three but actually — and seemingly paradoxically — it's much easier using five.

That's because to use one remote for two or more different functions requires finding and pushing or clicking one tiny, non-illuminated button among a sea of look-alikes.

Far easier to default to another remote with a known button to push.

Anyway, here's what the website has to say about this (halting) advance.

Remote Organizer gives a modern twist to remote organization.

Curved, step shape allows specific remotes to be viewed or accessed from any direction and prevents misplacement.

Transport station easily using ball-shaped handle.

8" x 4-1/4" x 8".

Steel.

$14.98 (remotes not included).
