RE: [ql-users] Psion Chess

[Darren . Branagh]

Old Sony TV remotes could do the same thing. They had a small screw inside
which when turned varied the frequency of the signal sent or something. I
remember it caused a panic in the US when loads of cars where nicked using
them. Thats why they changed to the "One for All" type remote which uses 3
or 4 digit codes for the various tv's etc, and isn't programmed with any of
the ones used by cars.

Is the one about putting coded car stereo's into the freezer to wipe them
true? never tried it.

This is all getting very off topic guys - sorry...
