Apple Remote

[jermx]

Just wondering.
New iMacs do not come with apple remote ?
Wierd .

because they want even more money off you
I already have two so not bothered but for those buying their first mac it's a pain.

But is it worth paying $ 34 SGD for it ?

It's handy to have but I never use it for my mac. If you have an iPhone the remote app is perfact for iTunes.

If you're intending to hook your Mac up to a TV, maybe. Or if you want to control iTunes from far away, definitely. Although yes, if you've got an iPhone (or iPod touch) the Remote app is even better -- it lets you control iTunes from anywhere on the network, rather than requiring you to be in front of your computer.
