I doubt I'll be able to score a set of these newfangled ones for a while. I do really like the it-doesn't-matter-where-you-point-it feature of the rf ones. I have a tile floor, and seventh graders do drop them a lot, so... Thanks for the tip. I doubt I’ll be able to score a set of these newfangled ones for a while.

I am an eInstruction consultant, and found your blog on IR vs RF of interest. While I would agree sometimes less IS more, there are some aspects of the RF that are benefits that arent necessarily immediately obvious. One is that the pads are "user renumberable" . You can go in, for example, and change a 1-32 pad set to 1-20, and 1-12( you will need a second receiver). Also, should you ever LOOSE one, you can turn # 32 into #5( or whatever number is missing , or just doesnt happen to work that day. As an eInstruciton consultant, I am lucky enough to have ( I buy them just like you) 4 sets, so I can do either 1-128, or renumber them into smaller sets . A Brother label maker is good for putting new numbers on the pads. ...Bill mc My”google alerts” alerted me to your blog. I am an eInstruction consultant, and found your blog on IR vs RF of interest.
