In the computer world, it can be hard for the average person to know exactly what he or she wants to purchase. Sure, you may think you know what you want, but once you're in the store and talking to the salepeople, it's too easy for all of that to fly right out the window.

Many people who bought a Mac recently have found that a remote control comes with it. It's a great little device to have if you're watching a DVD or listening to music, but it doesn't work with much else on the computer. This is where an ingenious little program called Sofa Control comes into play. It adds functionality to the remote so that it can be greatly more useful. It does cost money (about $15), but if you ever want to be able to give presentations or control your Mac from a distance, it's very well worth it.
